SSC .2625" × 2.00" ID × 37.50" Torsion Spring – RW – Blue

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC right-wound torsion spring is designed for sectional garage door counterbalance systems requiring .2625" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 37.50" relaxed spring-body length. It is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered spring wire and supplied with the winding and stationary cones installed.

A properly selected torsion spring helps counterbalance the weight of the garage door throughout its travel. This allows the door to move in a controlled manner and helps the opener operate a balanced door. The spring must match the complete counterbalance requirements—not simply the door’s width, appearance, or opener model.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

Oil-tempered wire provides the spring material used to store and release torque as the door moves. The protective coating helps protect the wire surface, but it does not eliminate the need for inspection or appropriate maintenance.

The winding cone and stationary cone are already installed. A second spring, shaft, cable drums, cables, bearings, mounting brackets, and winding tools are not part of this spring listing. Verify the condition and compatibility of the existing assembly before reusing those components.

Common Applications

Suitable for professional replacement of a broken, fatigued, or incorrectly specified spring on a sectional garage door whose calculated requirements match this configuration. It may be used in a single- or multiple-spring system only when the complete assembly is correctly sized.

This listing does not establish a universal door-weight rating. The lifting contribution depends on the spring’s operating torque, cable drums, door travel, and the other springs in the system.

Compatibility & Measurement

Confirm all four essential identifiers: .2625" wire, 2.00" ID, 37.50" relaxed body length, and right-hand wind.

The body length excludes both cones and must refer to the spring without stored winding tension. An installed, wound spring can be longer than its original relaxed length. Have a technician obtain the measurements safely.

The 2.00" ID describes the opening inside the spring coils—not the shaft diameter. Check cone bore, shaft fit, stationary-cone mounting, and available assembly space separately.

A .2625" × 2.00" spring with a different body length is not an automatic substitute. Length changes the spring rate, so even a similar-looking replacement requires verification.

Wind Direction & Color Identification

RW identifies the direction in which the spring is coiled. Blue is the wire-size identification color and does not indicate installation side or door-weight capacity. Confirm the actual wind rather than relying only on paint or the old spring’s location.

Pairing, Drums & Lift Configuration

When one spring fails on a two-spring door, have both evaluated. Springs installed together have generally experienced similar use, so replacing both may be appropriate. However, the correct pair may use matching or different dimensions, depending on the engineered design.

Changing door weight, drum type, track arrangement, or lift height requires a new sizing check. High-lift and vertical-lift applications must be calculated for their actual configurations.

Cycle Life & Maintenance

One cycle is one full opening and closing. A 10,000-cycle rating is a design rating, not a guarantee of a particular number of years. Usage frequency, corrosion, installation, and operating conditions affect service life.

Have the system inspected if the door becomes unusually heavy, moves unevenly, or develops abnormal noise. Follow the door manufacturer’s lubrication guidance; never adjust spring tension as routine homeowner maintenance.

Installation & Safety

Installation must be performed by a qualified garage door technician using proper winding bars and manufacturer procedures. Do not loosen loaded cones, drums, spring anchors, or bottom cable brackets. Do not operate a door with a broken spring.

The completed repair should include inspection of cables, bearings, drums, and anchors, followed by balance and opener safety checks.
