Custom Leg Types
&
Configurations
The leg design defines how a torsion spring interfaces with your assembly. Utilizing advanced multi-axis wire forming machinery, we can manufacture highly complex, multi-bend leg configurations tailored exactly to your mounting requirements, eliminating the need for secondary assembly hardware.
Leg Configurations
Comprehensive wire forming capabilities for custom torque applications.
| Leg Type | Description | Primary Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Legs | Simple wire extensions parallel or tangent to the coil body. | Most economical, ideal for standard slots and pins. |
| Short Hooks | 90-degree bends at the very end of the legs. | Prevents the spring from slipping out of the anchor point. |
| Double Bends | Legs formed with multiple angles to route around obstacles. | Navigates complex spaces without adding extra components. |
| Axial Center Legs | Leg bent directly through the center axis of the coil. | Perfect for rotating shafts and centralized pivot mechanisms. |
| Looped Ends | Fully closed loops formed at the end of the torsion legs. | Allows for secure bolting or riveting to flat surfaces. |
Engineering the Perfect Fit
How custom leg designs optimize your final product assembly.
Legs engineered to naturally snap into your assembly housing drastically reduce manual labor and assembly line time.
Complex wire forms can often replace secondary brackets, screws, or mounting plates, lowering your overall bill of materials (BOM).
Our engineers carefully calculate the bend radii to ensure that forming complex legs does not induce fatal stress fractures in the wire.
We review your CAD models to suggest minor leg modifications that make the spring significantly easier and cheaper to manufacture.
