SSC .2625" × 1.75" ID × 39.50" Torsion Spring – RW – Blue

🇺🇸 Made in USA

This SSC right-wound torsion spring is manufactured for garage door systems requiring .2625" wire, a 1.75" inside diameter, and a 39.50" relaxed spring-body length. Coated, oil-tempered spring wire and installed winding and stationary cones make it a complete spring-and-cone assembly for professional replacement.

When properly selected, the spring works with the shaft, cable drums, and cables to counterbalance the door. Correct sizing helps maintain controlled movement through the opening and closing cycle and prevents the opener from being asked to compensate for an improperly balanced door.

Specifications

Construction & Package Contents

The spring is supplied with both cones installed. The coating helps protect the wire surface, but the spring still requires appropriate inspection and maintenance for the operating environment.

Only one spring with its cones is included. Companion springs, shafts, drums, cables, bearings, anchor hardware, and installation tools must be supplied separately or reused only after inspection.

Common Applications

For replacement of a matching spring on a sectional garage door or use in a professionally calculated counterbalance assembly. Selection must account for the complete system rather than the spring’s color or the door’s width.

This product should not be assigned a universal door-weight capacity without confirming door height, drum geometry, spring operating conditions, and the contribution of any additional springs.

Compatibility: Confirm the 1.75" Inside Diameter

The 1.75" ID distinguishes this spring from .2625" wire springs with a 2.00" inside diameter. Those configurations are not direct substitutes merely because the wire size or color matches. Inside diameter affects spring performance and fitting requirements.

Verify the .2625" wire, 39.50" relaxed length, and right-hand wind as well. Confirm that the cones fit the shaft and anchor arrangement, and that sufficient space exists for the complete assembly.

The 39.50" dimension excludes the cones. It describes the relaxed spring body, not the overall installed assembly or a spring measured under winding tension.

Blue Color Code & Right-Hand Wind

Blue is the wire-size identification color. RW identifies the spring’s coil direction. These are separate characteristics, and neither provides a complete compatibility check on its own.

A technician should verify the actual coil direction and installation arrangement instead of relying only on existing paint marks or shaft position.

Pairing, Cable Drums & Lift Conversions

On a two-spring door, inspect both springs and determine the correct replacement combination. Replacing both aging springs may be appropriate, but the pair does not necessarily use identical dimensions.

Cable drum changes, added door weight, and track or lift conversions can change the spring requirements. High-lift and vertical-lift systems require application-specific calculations, including the actual drum and travel geometry.

Service Life & Maintenance

The standard minimum cycle rating is 10,000 cycles in a correctly selected application. One cycle means one complete opening and closing. Actual life depends on use, environment, loading, and maintenance.

Follow the door manufacturer’s lubrication and inspection guidance. Seek service if the door moves unevenly, becomes difficult to lift, or develops unusual noise. Do not attempt to correct those symptoms by adjusting spring tension yourself.

Professional Installation & Safety

Torsion springs store hazardous energy. Installation and adjustment must be performed by a qualified technician using proper winding bars and approved procedures.

Do not loosen loaded cones, drums, anchors, or bottom cable brackets. Keep a door with a broken spring out of service. After replacement, verify door balance, cable operation, supporting hardware condition, and opener safety functions.

Choose this SSC spring only after confirming the 1.75" ID, 39.50" relaxed length, .2625" wire, and right-hand wind required by your door.
