SPECIFY:
- Spring length .
- Wire diameter.

- Number of coils and/or pitch .
- Initial loading when fitted, working load, and amount of movement under
load .
- Length of legs and angle to one another, when free and when under load .

Wire diameter
Spring length
Number of coils
Length of legs and angle to one another, when free and under load
Direction of coiling
Inside diameter. Allow for a decrease in diameter as the spring is wound
up, to avoid it binding on the rod or spindle around which it operates.
- Load at installed position and at operating position. Alternatively specify amount of
deflection at any load.
Rate of load per unit of rotation
Stress relieving. Not all torsion springs require stress relieving.
