SSC .2437" × 2.00" ID × 31.50" Torsion Spring – RW – Green
🇺🇸 Made in USA
Restore proper counterbalance to a compatible sectional garage door with this SSC right-wound torsion spring. It features .2437" wire, a 2.00" inside diameter, and a 31.50" relaxed spring-body length, with winding and stationary cones installed.
The spring is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered wire. As part of a correctly sized counterbalance assembly, it helps offset the door’s weight through its travel so the door can operate smoothly and the opener can move a balanced load.

Construction & Included Components
The installed winding and stationary cones connect the spring to a compatible torsion system. Cone installation does not make the spring ready for homeowner installation; fitting, tensioning, and balance verification remain professional tasks.
The protective coating helps protect the wire surface. It does not make the spring maintenance-free or eliminate environmental wear.
This listing includes one spring and its installed cones. A companion spring, shaft, cable drums, cables, bearings, brackets, and tools are separate items.
Common Uses
For professional replacement of a broken or worn spring when the verified specification is .2437" × 2.00" ID × 31.50", right wound. It may also be selected as part of a calculated spring combination for a compatible sectional garage door.
Door width, opener horsepower, or a green marking alone cannot establish compatibility. The counterbalance must be selected for the actual door and drum arrangement.
Fit & Measurement Requirements
Confirm the exact wire diameter, inside diameter, relaxed coil-body length, and wind direction.
The 31.50" length excludes both cones and must not be confused with the length of an installed spring under tension. Have a technician safely confirm dimensions, especially if the old spring is broken, corroded, or missing identification.
The 2.00" inside diameter is the diameter inside the spring coils—not the torsion shaft size. Check cone bore, shaft compatibility, stationary mounting, and available assembly space separately.
A spring with the same green marking but a different inside diameter or length can have different operating characteristics. Substitutions require a professional calculation.
Color Code & Wind Direction
Green is the wire-size identification color. Right wound identifies the direction of the coil. Neither should be interpreted as a universal door-weight rating.
Confirm wind from the spring and system specification rather than relying solely on which side of the door the old spring occupied.
Pairing & Lift Configuration
When servicing a two-spring system, inspect both springs and verify their combined counterbalance characteristics. Springs with the same installation history may be candidates for replacement together. The correct pair can use equal or unequal dimensions, depending on the design.
Different cable drums, added insulation or overlays, replacement door sections, and lift conversions can change the required spring selection. High-lift and vertical-lift applications must be calculated for the actual configuration.
Cycle Life & Maintenance
The standard minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in a correctly selected application. One complete opening and closing equals one cycle. Operating frequency, corrosion, maintenance, and loading affect actual service life.
Follow the door manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Arrange inspection if the door becomes heavy, rises unevenly, or no longer operates smoothly. An opener adjustment is not a substitute for correcting a counterbalance problem.
Installation & Safety
For qualified professional installation only. Loaded springs, cones, drums, and cable attachments can release dangerous energy. Never loosen those components under tension or attempt spring work with improvised tools.
After installation, the technician should inspect the supporting hardware, confirm balance and cable tracking, and test opener safety operation.
Order this SSC green-coded right-wound spring once the complete specification has been verified for your door.
