SSC .2437 x 2.625" ID x 120" Torsion Spring – Right Wind (RW) – Green

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC torsion spring is manufactured for sectional garage door systems requiring a .2437" wire diameter, 2.625" inside diameter, 120" spring length, and right-wind configuration.

Manufactured by Service Spring Corporation (SSC) from coated, oil-tempered spring wire, this long-length torsion spring is supplied with the winding cone and stationary cone pre-installed and carries an industry-standard minimum rating of 10,000 cycles.

Specifications

Long-Length 120" Torsion Spring

At 120 inches long, this spring is substantially longer than a typical residential torsion spring.

Long-length springs are commonly used where the garage door counterbalance system requires a specific combination of:

• Wire size

• Inside diameter

• Spring torque

• Door weight

• Cable drum geometry

• Track configuration

• Available shaft space

The full 120" spring length affects torque characteristics, so this spring should only be used where the counterbalance calculation calls for this configuration.

2.625" Inside Diameter

This spring uses a 2.625" inside diameter, which is larger than the common 1.75" and 2.00" residential spring sizes.

The inside diameter must match the intended torsion hardware and spring system.

Do not substitute a smaller-ID spring simply because the wire size and length appear similar.

Green Wire Color Code

For this spring:

Green = .2437" wire diameter

The color marking is an identification aid only.

Always verify the actual:

• Wire diameter

• Inside diameter

• Spring length

• Wind direction

before ordering.

Right-Wind Configuration

This is a Right-Wind (RW) torsion spring.

On many standard two-spring systems, the right-wind spring is typically installed on the left side of the center support when viewed from inside the garage looking toward the door.

Garage door configurations vary, so always verify the actual spring wind before ordering.

Cones Pre-Installed

This spring includes:

• Winding cone installed

• Stationary cone installed

The winding cone is used to tension the spring using proper winding bars.

The stationary cone secures the spring to the center bearing plate or spring anchor bracket.

Application

This long-length torsion spring is intended for properly engineered sectional garage door counterbalance systems.

Typical applications can include:

• Heavy residential sectional doors

• Oversized garage doors

• Commercial sectional doors

• Long torsion-shaft systems

• Custom counterbalance systems

• Replacement of an existing matching spring

• Standard-lift, high-lift, or vertical-lift systems when correctly calculated

Compatibility & Fitment

Torsion springs are not universal.

For correct replacement, verify:

• Wire diameter: .2437"

• Inside diameter: 2.625"

• Spring length: 120"

• Wind direction: Right Wind

• Door weight

• Door height

• Cable drum model

• Track configuration

• Number of springs

• Required torque / IPPT

• Available shaft space

A spring that looks similar can produce significantly different torque if its wire size, ID, or length differs.

Important Matching Notes

For two-spring or multi-spring systems, all springs must work together as a properly engineered counterbalance system.

Verify:

• Correct RW/LW pairing

• Matching spring torque

• Cable drum size

• Door weight

• Available spring space

• Standard-lift, high-lift, or vertical-lift configuration

High-lift and vertical-lift systems require spring calculations based on the actual drum and track geometry.

Standard Cycle Spring

This is a standard coated torsion spring, not an SSC Extended Cycle / DuraMaster spring.

The published minimum is 10,000 cycles when the spring is correctly selected, installed, and adjusted.

Why Correct Spring Selection Matters

The torsion spring counterbalances most of the garage door's weight.

A properly selected spring helps:

• Keep the door balanced

• Reduce load on the opener

• Maintain cable tension

• Provide smooth opening and closing

• Reduce wear on cables, bearings, rollers, and hardware

An incorrectly selected spring can make the door excessively heavy, overly light, difficult to control, or unsafe.

Ready to Order?

If your garage door system requires a .2437" wire × 2.625" ID × 120" Right-Wind coated torsion spring, this SSC spring provides a professional-grade replacement with pre-installed winding and stationary cones.

Verify all spring dimensions, wind direction, drum configuration, and required torque before ordering.

Safety Warning

⚠️ Garage door torsion springs are under extreme stored energy.

Installation, winding, adjustment, and removal can cause serious injury or property damage if performed incorrectly.

Use proper winding bars and professional garage-door service procedures. Installation by a qualified garage door technician is strongly recommended.
