A torsion spring is a coiled and twisted spring that stores mechanical energy in its shape when torque is applied. This type of spring is commonly used in various applications, including garage door openers, clocks, and other mechanisms requiring tension or release of force. The amount of torque required to wind the spring determines its strength and size. Torsion springs can be made from a variety of materials such as steel, stainless steel, and brass, depending on the application's requirements.
