SSC .2187" × 1.75" ID × 27.00" Torsion Spring – RW – White

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This Service Spring Corp torsion spring features .2187" wire, a 1.75" inside diameter, a 27.00" spring body length, and right-hand wind. It is a replacement counterbalance component for garage door systems specified for this exact combination of dimensions and winding direction.

The spring is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered wire and supplied with winding and stationary cones installed. Correctly selected and professionally installed, it helps offset door weight through the torsion shaft and cable drums, supporting balanced movement throughout the door’s travel.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

Oil-tempered wire forms the working coil body that stores and releases energy as the garage door operates. Its protective coating helps protect the surface during service, while appropriate maintenance remains necessary.

Installed winding and stationary cones provide the spring’s tensioning and fixed anchoring connections. Their compatibility with the intended shaft and mounting arrangement should be confirmed before installation.

This listing includes one spring with cones. Lift cables, cable drums, bearings, support brackets, torsion shaft, and installation equipment are separate components of the complete counterbalance system.

Common Applications

Suitable for professional sectional garage door repairs where the verified replacement is .2187" × 1.75" ID × 27.00", right wind.

The correct spring cannot be selected from opener horsepower or door appearance alone. Actual door weight, travel height, drum geometry, and the spring arrangement determine the requirement. If the door was poorly balanced before spring failure, the technician should reassess its sizing rather than automatically duplicate the old spring.

Compatibility & Measurement

Confirm wire diameter, inside diameter, relaxed spring body length, and wind direction. The 27.00" length is the coil body measurement without the cones, established with the spring fully relaxed by a qualified professional.

The 1.75" inside diameter refers to the opening through the coils. It does not specify shaft diameter. Cone fit, anchor mounting, shaft compatibility, and operating clearance require separate checks.

This spring differs from .2187" × 1.75" ID versions measuring 25.00" or 29.25". Matching wire size and coil diameter does not make different lengths interchangeable; length changes spring rate and must be considered in the counterbalance calculation.

Wind Direction & Color Identification

Right wind describes the direction of the coils. It is a separate specification from wire size and length and must match the intended torsion system configuration.

White identifies .2187" wire within the torsion spring color-code sequence. Because white is also used for other wire sizes, including .2950", the paint mark alone is insufficient for identification. Confirm actual measurements rather than interpreting white as a universal spring size or lifting capacity.

Pairing & Lift Requirements

On a two-spring door, both springs contribute to balance and should be assessed together. The technician should inspect the companion spring’s condition and determine whether replacing both is appropriate based on age and service history.

Some correctly engineered systems use different spring dimensions on each side. Door weight, height, cable drums, and standard-, high-, or vertical-lift configuration determine the suitable combination. Any conversion requires professional calculation.

Cycle Life & Maintenance

The listed minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One complete opening and closing counts as one cycle, so service duration varies with daily usage and operating conditions.

Follow manufacturer maintenance and lubrication recommendations. Uneven movement, unusual noise, or a heavy door should prompt professional inspection rather than increased opener force.

Professional Installation & Safety

Torsion spring replacement requires a qualified garage door professional using proper equipment. Never loosen loaded cones, anchors, cable drums, or bottom cable brackets.

Keep a door with a broken spring out of service until repaired. Following replacement, have cable condition, mounting hardware, door balance, and opener safety operation verified.
