SSC .2625" × 2.00" ID × 40.00" Torsion Spring – RW – Blue

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This Service Spring Corp torsion spring combines .2625" wire diameter, a 2.00" inside diameter, a 40.00" spring body length, and right-hand wind. It is supplied with installed winding and stationary cones for professional replacement in compatible garage door counterbalance systems.

The spring applies torque through the torsion shaft and cable drums to help offset the door’s weight. Proper selection supports balanced movement throughout travel and allows the opener to operate a correctly counterbalanced door. Coated, oil-tempered wire forms the working spring body.

Specifications

Construction & Included Components

The oil-tempered wire stores and releases mechanical energy as the garage door moves. A protective coating helps protect the wire surface, while regular inspection and manufacturer-recommended maintenance remain necessary.

Installed winding and stationary cones provide the spring’s tensioning and fixed anchoring connections. This listing supplies one spring with cones. The shaft, cable drums, lift cables, bearings, brackets, and service tools are separate items.

The cones extend beyond the stated 40.00" coil body length. The installer must account for the complete assembly and its operating requirements when checking available space.

Common Applications

Suitable for professional replacement where the verified specification is .2625" wire × 2.00" inside diameter × 40.00" body length, right wind.

Spring selection depends on actual door weight, travel height, drum geometry, and the complete spring arrangement. Door width or opener model alone is insufficient. If the old spring did not balance the door properly, a technician should reassess the required specification before ordering a replacement.

Compatibility & Measurement

Confirm wire diameter, inside diameter, relaxed spring body length, and wind direction. The 40.00" measurement excludes both cones and refers to the coil body in its fully relaxed state.

The 2.00" inside diameter describes the opening through the spring 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 .2625" × 2.00" ID × 39.25" spring. Even a relatively small length difference changes spring rate. Likewise, a longer body does not by itself establish an extended-cycle upgrade; a valid conversion requires a supporting counterbalance calculation.

Wind Direction & Color Identification

Right wind identifies coil direction and must match the intended torsion assembly configuration. Mounting position should be determined from the actual system rather than assumed from a universal side-of-door rule.

Blue is the wire-size identification for .2625" torsion spring wire. It differs from the light-blue code used for .2830" wire. Color does not identify lifting capacity or replace the complete dimensional specification.

Spring Pairing & Lift Requirements

On a two-spring door, the installer should evaluate both springs as a working pair. The condition and service history of the companion spring help determine whether replacing both is appropriate.

Correctly engineered pairs may use different dimensions. Door weight, height, cable drum geometry, and standard-, high-, or vertical-lift arrangement influence the required combination. Changes to drums or lift configuration 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; calendar life varies with daily usage and operating conditions.

Follow manufacturer recommendations for lubrication and inspection. Heavy operation, uneven travel, or unusual noise requires service rather than an increase in opener force.

Professional Installation & Safety

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

Following installation, have the technician verify spring clearance, cable condition, secure hardware, door balance, and opener safety operation before returning the door to service.
