SSC .2730" × 1.75" ID × 45.00" Torsion Spring – RW – Orange
🇺🇸 Made in USA
This SSC right-wound torsion spring is intended for sectional garage door systems requiring .2730" wire, a 1.75" inside diameter, and a 45.00" relaxed spring-body length. It is manufactured from coated, oil-tempered spring wire and supplied with winding and stationary cones installed.
A properly selected spring helps the counterbalance system offset the door’s weight throughout its movement. Correct balance supports controlled manual operation and allows the opener to move a balanced door rather than compensate for an incorrect spring.

Construction & Included Components
The oil-tempered wire provides the spring material for repeated torque loading during normal operation. Its protective coating helps protect the surface, but does not make the spring maintenance-free or immune to environmental wear.
Both cones are installed. Their fit must be checked against the torsion shaft and stationary anchor arrangement before installation.
This listing includes one spring with cones. A companion spring, shaft, drums, cables, bearings, mounting brackets, and winding tools are separate components.
Common Applications
For professional replacement of a matching right-wound spring on a sectional garage door or use in a professionally calculated counterbalance combination.
The .2730" wire and 45.00" length do not, by themselves, establish a universal door-weight capacity. Door weight, travel height, cable drum geometry, and the contribution of any companion spring determine the application.
Compatibility: Dimensions & Available Space
Confirm .2730" wire diameter, 1.75" inside diameter, 45.00" relaxed body length, and right-hand wind.
The 45.00" dimension covers only the relaxed coil body. Both cones and the installed operating arrangement require additional space. Have a technician confirm enough room on the shaft and clearance from nearby hardware.
This spring is not an automatic replacement for a shorter .2730" × 1.75" spring or a .2730" spring with a 2.00" ID. Changes to length or inside diameter affect spring performance and require a professional calculation.
A measurement taken from a wound spring may not represent its original relaxed length. Have dimensions confirmed safely rather than attempting to release tension yourself.
The 1.75" ID refers to the coils—not the shaft. Check cone bore, shaft fit, and stationary mounting separately.
Orange Identification & Wind Direction
Orange is the wire-size identification color. RW identifies the direction of the spring coil. These are separate characteristics, and neither establishes a universal lifting capacity.
Confirm the actual wire diameter and required wind from the system specification. Do not rely solely on paint color or the old spring’s position, especially where the installation has been modified.
Spring Pairing, Drums & Lift Configuration
On a two-spring door, have both springs evaluated and confirm the required replacement combination. Replacing both aging springs may be appropriate, but the correct pair may use matching or different dimensions.
Changes to door weight, cable drum model, or lift arrangement require a new sizing review. High-lift and vertical-lift systems must be calculated for their actual drum and travel geometry.
Cycle Life & Ongoing Care
The standard minimum rating is 10,000 cycles in the correct application. One cycle is one full opening and closing. Actual life varies with operating frequency, maintenance, environment, and loading.
Follow the door manufacturer’s inspection and lubrication guidance. Seek service if the door becomes difficult to lift, travels unevenly, or develops abnormal noise. Increasing opener force does not correct an improperly balanced spring system.
Professional Installation & Safety
Installation and tension adjustment must be performed by a qualified garage door technician using proper winding bars and manufacturer procedures.
Never loosen loaded cones, anchors, drums, or bottom cable attachments. Keep a door with a broken spring out of service. After replacement, inspect supporting hardware and verify door balance, cable tracking, and opener safety operation.
Order this SSC right-wound spring after confirming the exact 45.00" body length, .2730" wire, 1.75" ID, and complete application requirements.
