In a practical sense, torsion springs are used in numerous industries and everyday applications.

Here is a list of items that use torsion springs within each industry.

Automotive: Used in vehicle suspensions, gear mechanisms, brake pedals and clutches to enhance performance and durability.
Renewables: Used in solar panel tracking systems for precise positioning, wind turbine mechanisms for blade adjustment, and hydroelectric dam controls for gate operation.
Construction: Employed in heavy-duty construction equipment for better control, window and door mechanisms for smoother operation, and scaffolding locks for enhanced safety.
Quarry and Mining: Used in conveyor belt tensioning systems, drilling equipment for directional control, and screening equipment for material sorting.
Transport: Used in railcar coupling systems for secure connections, container securing mechanisms for stability, and overhead luggage compartments in vehicles for easy access and closure.
Home appliances: Used in washing machines to balance the drum during spin cycles, door hinges in refrigerators and oven and microwave doors.
