SSC .2187" × 2.00" ID × 31.00" Torsion Spring – RW – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This Service Spring Corp torsion spring features .2187" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, a 31.00" spring body length, and right-hand wind. It is designed for professional replacement in garage door counterbalance systems requiring this specific combination of dimensions and winding direction.

Manufactured from coated, oil-tempered wire, the spring includes installed winding and stationary cones. When correctly selected and professionally installed, it supplies torque through the torsion shaft and cable drums to help balance the door’s weight throughout its travel.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

The oil-tempered wire forms the working coil body that stores and releases mechanical energy as the door operates. A protective coating helps protect the wire surface, while regular inspection and appropriate maintenance remain necessary.

The installed winding cone provides the spring’s tensioning connection, and the stationary cone provides its fixed anchoring connection. This listing supplies one spring with cones. The shaft, lift cables, drums, bearings, support brackets, and installation tools are separate components.

Common Applications

Suitable for professional sectional garage door repairs where the verified replacement specification is .2187" × 2.00" ID × 31.00", right wind.

Door width, opener horsepower, and panel appearance do not establish the correct spring. Actual door weight, travel height, cable drums, and the spring arrangement determine suitability. If the door was previously difficult to balance or has received additional insulation or reinforcement, the counterbalance requirement should be reassessed.

Compatibility & Measurement

Confirm wire diameter, inside diameter, relaxed spring body length, and wind direction before purchase. The 31.00" length describes the coil body without the cones, measured with the spring fully relaxed by a qualified professional.

The 2.00" inside diameter refers to the opening through the coils, not the shaft diameter. Cone compatibility, shaft fit, stationary mounting, and operating clearance require separate verification.

This spring is not automatically interchangeable with a .2187" × 2.00" ID spring measuring 25.00" or 26.00". A different body length changes spring rate. Choosing a longer spring without recalculating the counterbalance does not establish a suitable replacement or a valid extended-cycle upgrade.

Wind Direction & Color Identification

Right wind describes the direction of the spring coils. The correct mounting position depends on the actual torsion system arrangement rather than a universal side-of-door rule.

White identifies .2187" wire within the torsion spring color-code sequence, but the sequence also uses white for other wire sizes, including .2950". Verify the wire diameter directly. Color does not establish lifting capacity or replace the complete specification.

Spring Pairing & Lift Configuration

When the door uses two springs, their combined output must match the counterbalance requirement. A technician should inspect the companion spring and consider whether replacing both is appropriate based on age, wear, and operating history.

A correctly engineered pair does not necessarily use identical spring dimensions. Door height, drum geometry, and standard-, high-, or vertical-lift configuration must be included in the selection process.

Cycle Life & Maintenance

The listed minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One complete opening and closing equals one cycle; service duration varies with frequency of use and operating conditions.

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

Professional Installation & Safety

Torsion springs store substantial energy and require installation by a qualified garage door professional. Never loosen loaded cones, anchors, cable drums, or bottom cable brackets.

After replacement, the technician should inspect the surrounding hardware and verify cable condition, door balance, and opener safety operation.

Choose this spring for a confirmed .2187" × 2.00" ID × 31.00" right-wind replacement requirement.
