Torsion bars and torsion fibers do work by torsion. However, the terminology can be confusing because in helical torsion … See more

As long as they are not twisted beyond their elastic limit, torsion springs obey an angular form of Hooke's law:
where
• is the torque exerted by the spring in newton-meters, … See more

Some familiar examples of uses are the strong, helical torsion springs that operate clothespins and traditional spring-loaded-bar type mousetraps. Other uses are in the large, coiled torsion springs used to counterbal… See more

The torsion balance, also called torsion pendulum, is a scientific apparatus for measuring very weak forces, usually credited to Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, who invented it in 1777, but independently invented by … See more

Torsion balances, torsion pendulums and balance wheels are examples of torsional harmonic oscillators that can oscillate with a rotational motion about the axis of the torsion spring, clockwise and counterclockwise, in … See more
