HA479 TORSION MECHAN

Torsion refers to a type of mechanical force or stress that is caused by the application of a twisting or turning force. In the context of restaurant equipment, torsion might be encountered in the operation of a door or another moving part of the equipment. For example, a refrigerator door may be subject to torsion when it is opened and closed, as the hinges absorb the twisting forces generated by the movement of the door. Torsion can also be a factor in the design of other types of restaurant equipment, such as ovens or ranges, mixers and more where the movement of parts or the application of heat can create torsional stresses on various components.).

Torsion springs are helical springs that exert a torque or rotary force. The ends of a torsion spring are attached to other components, and when those components rotate around the center of the spring, the spring tries to push them back to their original position.
