SSC .2437" × 2.00" ID × 28.25" Torsion Spring – RW – Green
SSC .2437" × 2.00" ID × 28.25" Torsion Spring – RW – Green
🇺🇸 Made in USA
Restore the intended counterbalance on a compatible sectional garage door with this SSC right-wound torsion spring. Its configuration uses .2437" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 28.25" relaxed spring-body length, with installed winding and stationary cones.
The coated, oil-tempered wire stores and releases torque as the door moves. When correctly sized for the application, the spring works with the drums, cables, shaft, and any companion spring to offset door weight throughout the opening and closing cycle.

Construction & Package Contents
The spring is made from oil-tempered wire for repeated torsional loading. Its coating helps protect the surface, but does not eliminate the need for maintenance or inspection in damp, corrosive, or frequently used environments.
Both cones are installed. The winding cone and stationary cone must fit the intended shaft and mounting arrangement.
This listing includes one spring with its cones. A second spring, shaft, cable drums, cables, bearings, brackets, and professional installation tools are separate items.
Common Uses
For replacement of a matching right-wound spring on a sectional garage door or use in a professionally calculated spring combination.
This spring is not selected by door width, opener model, or green paint marking alone. The actual door weight, travel height, drum geometry, and complete counterbalance arrangement determine whether it is suitable.
Compatibility: Preserve the Exact Length
Verify .2437" wire, 2.00" inside diameter, 28.25" relaxed body length, and right-hand wind.
The 28.25" dimension should not be rounded to 28.00" or 29.00". Springs with identical wire and inside diameter but different body lengths have different spring rates. A substitution must be checked against the door’s balance requirements throughout its travel.
The listed length excludes both cones and describes the relaxed coil body. An installed spring under winding tension may measure longer. Have a qualified technician confirm the original dimensions safely.
The 2.00" inside diameter refers to the spring coils—not the torsion shaft. Verify cone bore, shaft fit, stationary mounting, and available assembly space separately.
Green Identification & Right-Hand Wind
Green identifies the wire-size color code. RW identifies the direction of the coil. Neither marking establishes installation side or a universal lifting capacity.
A left-wound spring of the same dimensions is not an interchangeable replacement. Confirm the required wind from the system specification rather than relying only on location or faded paint.
Pairing & Changes to the Door
Have both springs assessed when servicing a two-spring door. Springs installed together generally have similar operating histories, so replacing both may be appropriate. The correct pair must be selected for the door and may use matching or different dimensions.
Added insulation, overlays, glazing, replacement sections, or different cable drums can change the requirements. High-lift and vertical-lift conversions require application-specific engineering.
Cycle Rating & Maintenance
The standard minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in a correctly selected application. One complete opening and closing equals one cycle. Actual service life depends on daily use, operating conditions, corrosion, and maintenance.
Follow the door manufacturer’s inspection and lubrication recommendations. Arrange service if the door becomes heavy, moves unevenly, or develops unusual noise. Do not use opener adjustments to compensate for poor spring balance.
Installation & Safety
For qualified professional installation only. Torsion springs store hazardous energy, and loaded fittings must not be loosened without proper control of the system.
Never loosen loaded cones, drums, anchors, or bottom cable brackets. Keep a door with a broken spring out of operation. The technician should complete the repair with supporting-hardware inspection, balance testing, cable checks, and verification of opener safety functions.
Choose this SSC right-wound spring after confirming the exact 28-1/4" body length and your door’s complete counterbalance requirements.
