Midwest Fasteners Steel .072" Wire Gauge Torsion Spring

Midwest Fasteners Steel .072" Wire Gauge Torsion Spring

Midwest Fasteners Steel .072" Wire Gauge Torsion Springs are manufactured for repair, replacement and fabrication work that requires rotational spring force rather than straight-line compression or extension. This family of steel torsion springs is available in body sizes ranging from 1/2" up to 1/2" x 1-1/4", with a .072" wire gauge (WG) construction shared across the line, giving you a reliable option when matching an original spring on hinges, levers, clamps, counterbalance mechanisms and similar assemblies. Built from steel for durability under repeated flex cycles, these torsion springs are sold Each, making it easy to order only the exact spring you need for a single repair without committing to a bulk pack. Whether you are a maintenance tech restocking a parts bin or a fabricator building a custom assembly, matching the correct wire gauge and body size is critical to getting proper spring tension and service life out of the replacement part. Selecting the right size from the available range ensures the spring seats correctly and delivers consistent torque through its service life.

Key Features

• Size Range: Available in 1/2" and 1/2" x 1-1/4" body sizes with .072" wire gauge (WG) construction.
• Material: Steel construction for consistent spring-back performance under repeated torsional loading.
• Type: Torsion spring design, engineered to store and release rotational (twisting) energy rather than linear push/pull force.
• Package: Sold Each, so you can buy the exact quantity needed for a single repair or small production run.
• Fit Confidence: Consistent .072" wire gauge across both body sizes helps you match an existing spring without guessing at tension or fit.

Technical Specifications

• Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete specifications.

Typical Applications

• Replacing worn or broken torsion springs on hinged hardware and mechanisms
• Maintenance and repair of equipment relying on rotational spring tension
• Fabrication projects requiring a specific .072" wire gauge torsion spring
• General hardware shop and jobsite spring stock for quick-turn repairs
• Counterbalance mechanisms, clamps and lever assemblies needing rotational force

Why Midwest Fasteners?

Midwest Fasteners builds its torsion springs from steel wire to a consistent .072" wire gauge, so maintenance techs and fabricators can match an existing spring with confidence instead of guessing at tension and fit. Ordering Each keeps restocking simple and cost-effective for one-off repairs, while the range of sizes in the family, from 1/2" up to 1/2" x 1-1/4", supports a wide variety of hinge, lever and mechanism repairs across professional and DIY projects. Choosing a trusted, consistently manufactured wire gauge spring helps ensure the replacement performs as reliably as the original part it is replacing.
