When a worn or undersized torsion spring causes mechanisms to snap, bind, or lose return force, finding the exact replacement becomes a frustrating search. Whether you are a maintenance technician, a product designer, or a hands-on DIYer, these torsion springs deliver consistent torque and repeatable performance across a wide range of assemblies.
Each pack contains 10 right-hand wound torsion springs manufactured from spring steel wire. Wire diameter is 1.2 mm (approximately 0.047 in), with outer diameter options ranging from 6 mm to 12 mm (approximately 0.24 in to 0.47 in). Coil counts span 3 to 9 coils, and leg angles are available in 60°, 90°, 120°, and 180° to suit varied mounting configurations.
These torsion springs are suited for use in door latches and cabinet hinges requiring compact right-hand return force, small appliance mechanisms such as clip assemblies and trigger levers, and precision instrument or electronics enclosure components where consistent angular torque is critical.
Consistent wire gauge across all variants ensures uniform spring rate and predictable torque output for compact mechanism designs.
Nine outer diameter options from 6 mm to 12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) let you match the mandrel or housing bore of your specific assembly.
Right-hand wound coils apply torque in the clockwise direction when viewed from the leg end, suitable for standard return-force applications.
Choose from 60°, 90°, 120°, or 180° leg angles to match your mounting geometry without bending or modifying the spring legs.
Each order ships 10 identical springs, providing spares for prototyping, batch repairs, or production line stocking without over-ordering.
Seven coil count options allow fine-tuning of angular deflection range and spring rate to match the torque requirements of your mechanism.

Measure the mandrel or shaft your spring will wind around, then select an OD that provides a small clearance fit — typically 0.5–1 mm larger than the mandrel diameter. For housing bores, the OD should be slightly smaller than the bore to allow free rotation. Use the variant selector above to choose from 6 mm to 12 mm OD options.
A right-hand wound torsion spring coils in the clockwise direction when viewed from the leg end. When the spring is loaded, the coils tighten. This is the most common wind direction for standard return-force applications such as door latches, hinges, and clip mechanisms. If your application requires counter-clockwise torque, a left-hand wound spring would be needed instead.
More coils generally result in a lower spring rate (softer spring) and greater angular deflection capacity for the same wire diameter and OD. Fewer coils produce a stiffer spring with less deflection range. Match the coil count to the torque and angular travel required by your mechanism. Options range from 3 to 9 coils in this listing.
The leg angle refers to the angle between the two straight legs of the spring in its free (unloaded) state. Choose the angle that matches your mounting geometry so the legs align with your fixture points without pre-stressing the spring. Available angles are 60°, 90°, 120°, and 180°. If your required angle falls between these values, select the closest option and adjust your mounting slightly, or contact us to confirm.
These springs are made from spring steel, which provides good mechanical properties for torque applications. Spring steel has moderate corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. For applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions, consider applying a protective coating after installation or contact us to confirm suitability for your environment.
Spring steel performs well in controlled indoor environments. For outdoor or high-humidity use, surface protection such as a light oil coating or protective spray is recommended to extend service life. If your application demands stainless steel or a specific plated finish, contact us to confirm available options.
Purchasing a pack of 10 ensures you have spares on hand for prototyping iterations, batch repairs, or production runs without repeated ordering delays. For maintenance applications, having extras reduces downtime when a spring needs replacement. The per-unit cost is also more economical in a pack format.
