Square vs. Round Wire Torsion Spring
Square vs. Round Wire Torsion Spring
(OP)
Can anyone tell me if there is a benefit to using square wire, as opposed to round wire, for a large torsion spring?
I need to replace some damaged springs (square wire), but can't locate a manufacturer who can build them. I am told that a round wire type can be readily produced. I understand the overall dimensions will change with a round wire type, but am curious if there is a specific reason why square wire would be chosen over round wire.
Thank you.
