This helical torsion spring is right hand wound and made of steel music wire for greater strength than stainless steel. It has straight torsion ends (legs) for a wide variety of uses, and the free (unloaded) deflection angle between the ends is 120 degrees. The spring has a maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius). This music wire torsion spring meets ASTM International standard ASTM A228 and Aerospace Material Specifications standard AMS 5112 for quality assurance, and is used in various applications, including hinges, levers, and switches.
Torsion springs are open-coil spiral (helical) springs that provide resistance to twisting or torque. The spring wire can be left hand wound or right hand wound to resist counterclockwise or clockwise rotations. Various end types (such as straight or hooked) and unloaded (free) angles between the ends are available to suit different uses. Torsion springs are used in a variety of applications, including hinges, counterbalances, levers, and garage doors, among others.

This torsion spring was just what I needed to save my 13-gallon trash can from the garbage. I had to cut a little off from one end, but then it worked perfect on the open and close lid. Ten came in the package, better yet!

Ordered for the 13 gallon Hefty touch top trash can in the kitchen . They fit beautifully and are a little stronger than the original springs . I now have my old one fixed and a new one purchased because I love this no hassle trash can !

I have an unusual upright trash can in the kitchen. It's not been available almost since I bought it, perhaps 8 or so years ago. This trash can has a push button on top that opens the lid with two springs. The old springs had rusted from corrosion of food grease, etc, and failed. So, I measured the springs and found a package of 10 replacements on Amazon. Now I've got a 40 year supply, to replace the springs 5 times. Great product. Works as expected; a little stronger than the original. The trash can lid just opens a little faster. It's good to repair products when you can, instead of throw them away.
