Torsion Spring Assortment — Reliable Rotational Force for Tools & DIY Repairs
When a worn or broken torsion spring brings your tools, hinges, or mechanical assemblies to a halt, finding the right replacement quickly matters. This torsion spring assortment is designed for DIY enthusiasts, maintenance technicians, and workshop professionals who need a dependable rotational-force solution across a wide range of applications.
Each torsion spring in this assortment is formed from 1.5mm wire diameter steel, with outer diameters ranging from 10mm to 18mm (approximately 0.39" to 0.71"). Available in six leg angles — 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 180°, and 270° — and coil counts from 1 to 5, these springs deliver consistent torque and return force suited to compact mechanical assemblies.
Typical use cases include tool trigger mechanisms requiring a torsion spring for tools maintenance, cabinet door hinges needing a DIY torsion spring replacement, and light-duty mechanical assemblies where a small torsion spring with precise leg angle is critical for correct function.
⚙️
Compatibility: Suitable for tools, hinges, latches, clips, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a 1.5mm wire diameter torsion spring with OD 10–18mm. Verify your required leg angle and coil count before ordering.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right leg angle for my application?
The leg angle refers to the angular position between the two legs of the torsion spring when it is in its free (unloaded) state. Measure the angle between the two mounting legs on your existing spring or the angle required by your mechanism's geometry. Common choices: 90° for right-angle hinges and latches, 180° for straight-leg return mechanisms, and 270° for applications requiring a large pre-load angle.
What does the outer diameter (OD) measurement refer to?
The outer diameter is the measurement across the outside of the coil body. When selecting a replacement spring, ensure the OD fits within your housing bore or surrounding structure. The inner diameter (ID) — which determines shaft fit — is derived from the OD minus twice the wire diameter (1.5mm × 2 = 3mm). For example, a 12mm OD spring has an approximate ID of 9mm.
How does the number of coils affect spring performance?
More coils generally result in a lower spring rate (softer, more deflection per unit of torque) and greater angular travel before reaching the load limit. Fewer coils produce a stiffer spring with less angular travel. Match the coil count to the deflection range and torque requirement of your mechanism. If you are unsure, contact us to confirm the best option for your use case.
Are these springs corrosion-resistant?
These torsion springs are made from steel. For indoor or dry-environment applications such as tool mechanisms and cabinet hinges, standard steel construction performs reliably. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, consider applying a light protective coating after installation. If you require a specific corrosion-resistant finish, contact us to confirm available options.
Can I use these springs for outdoor or high-load applications?
These springs are designed for light-to-medium duty applications including tools maintenance, DIY repairs, hinges, and latches. For heavy-load or outdoor applications with continuous moisture exposure, verify the spring rate and material finish match your load requirements. Contact us to confirm suitability before ordering for demanding environments.
How do I confirm compatibility with my existing spring?
To confirm compatibility, measure your existing spring's wire diameter (should be 1.5mm), outer diameter (10–18mm range), leg angle, and coil count. Match all four parameters to the variant options available. If your existing spring is worn or deformed, use the housing bore size to determine the correct OD and the mechanism geometry to determine the leg angle.
Is this listing for a single spring or a pack?
Each order is for one (1) individual torsion spring. Select your required combination of leg angle, outer diameter, and number of coils from the variant selectors above, then add the quantity you need to your cart.
