RE: DWG sizes for torsion springs

I don't know that such standards exist.

However, every standard publishing organization has a web site and they all have search functions.

Most spring manufacturers have web sites with on-line catalogs.  If their springs are manufactured to a standard, that should be identified in the literature.

Let us know what you find out.

RE: DWG sizes for torsion springs

There are no standards for springs like the ones for fasteners.

Hi Saver2008

Here is an online typical website you can look at for all type of springs but these springs or not standard worldwide they are just one companies range of springs.
However they also quote various specifications that the spring wire is made from and tested etc, there is also reference to a specification for designing such springs.

Exactly, you can download these manuals regarding off-the-shelf components and use the dimensions supplied to specify a torsion spring to fit your needs.

Also, if you get into a pinch, there are several good websites that offer spring calculators to meet your needs.  EngineeringEdge is one of those, probably one of the better ones.

Go the commercial available route, much cheaper since pieces are immediately available in massive quantities.  This addresses future needs such as redress kits.
