SSC .2253" × 2.00" ID × 30.50" Torsion Spring – LW – Red

🇺🇸 Made in USA

The Service Spring Corp .2253" × 2.00" ID × 30.50" left-wind torsion spring is designed for professional replacement in garage door counterbalance systems requiring these specific dimensions and winding direction. It is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered wire and includes installed winding and stationary cones.

The spring works through the torsion shaft and cable drum assembly to help offset door weight. When correctly matched to the system, it supports balanced travel and allows the opener to move a properly counterbalanced door. Accurate selection is essential to achieve the intended operating result.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

Oil-tempered spring wire provides the working material that stores and releases mechanical energy during operation. The protective coating helps protect the wire surface, but does not remove the need for inspection or appropriate maintenance.

The installed winding cone provides the tensioning connection, while the stationary cone provides the fixed anchoring connection. Their fit with the existing shaft and mounting hardware must be verified.

This listing supplies one spring with cones. Cables, drums, bearings, brackets, torsion shaft, and installation tools are separate components and should be inspected or sourced as required.

Common Applications

Intended for professional sectional garage door repair where the verified specification is .2253" wire × 2.00" inside diameter × 30.50" body length, left wind.

Door width, panel style, and opener horsepower do not identify the correct spring. Door weight, travel height, cable drums, and the complete spring arrangement determine compatibility. Changes to insulation, reinforcement, glazing, or door sections may require a revised counterbalance calculation.

Compatibility & Measurement

Match wire diameter, inside diameter, relaxed body length, and wind direction before ordering. The 30.50" measurement refers to the coil body without its cones and must be established in the fully relaxed condition.

The 2.00" inside diameter describes the spring coil opening rather than the shaft diameter. Confirm cone compatibility, shaft fit, anchor mounting, and sufficient operating clearance separately.

This spring is not interchangeable solely by appearance with a .2253" × 1.75" ID × 30.75" spring. Both coil diameter and length differ. Even closely sized springs can produce different counterbalance characteristics, so an alternative must be calculated for the door rather than selected by approximate dimensions.

Wind Direction & Color Identification

Left wind describes coil direction and must match the intended torsion assembly configuration. Correct mounting position should not be inferred from a universal left-side or right-side rule.

Red is the wire-size code for .2253" torsion spring wire. Wire-size markings and cone markings serve different identification purposes. Color alone does not establish lifting capacity, winding direction, or the complete replacement specification.

Spring Pairing & Door Configuration

For doors using two springs, their combined output must satisfy the counterbalance requirement. The installer should assess the companion spring’s condition and determine whether replacing both is appropriate based on age and operating history.

A correctly engineered pair does not always use identical dimensions. Door weight, height, cable drum geometry, and standard-, high-, or vertical-lift arrangement determine the suitable combination. Changes to lift hardware require a corresponding spring assessment.

Cycle Life & Maintenance

The listed minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One complete opening and closing equals one cycle. Usage frequency, environmental exposure, maintenance, and hardware condition influence actual service duration.

Follow manufacturer lubrication and inspection recommendations. Heavy operation, unusual noise, or uneven travel requires professional attention rather than additional opener force.

Professional Installation & Safety

Spring removal, installation, and tensioning should be performed by a qualified garage door professional. Never loosen loaded cones, spring anchors, cable drums, or bottom cable brackets.

After replacement, have the technician inspect cables and bearings, confirm secure mounting, and verify door balance and opener safety functions before returning the door to service.

Select this spring for a verified .2253" × 2.00" ID × 30.50" left-wind replacement requirement.
