🛡️ Important safety notice – always replace both springs!
For safety reasons, both Hörmann torsion springs of the 40/50 series must always be replaced together. The spring calculation is performed by the manufacturer based on a defined number of load cycles. If one spring breaks, the second spring is usually already close to its own breaking point.
If only one side is replaced, the remaining old spring can break suddenly and without warning . This endangers people, damages gate leaves, fittings, and drive mechanisms, and poses a significant workplace safety risk. Tormeister 24 therefore strongly recommends: Always replace both torsion springs as a set!
📌 Variants & Identification – How to choose the right Hörmann spring
Hörmann uses an R/L code identification system for the 40/50 series. You can usually identify the correct spring by:
- the aluminum flag directly on the spring (e.g. R228, L232, R510, L526 etc.), or
- the gate's type plate (series, gate size, design).
If neither the aluminum flag nor a clear marking is visible, simply send us a photo of the type plate and – if possible – of the spring area. The Tormeister 24 team will assist you with the exact identification.
Markings (excerpt of variants)
In the shop, these markings are listed as the variant option "Marking" . Simply select the label that is printed on your existing spring or aluminum tag.

⚙️ Application & Assembly – Workplace safety first
The torsion springs of the Hörmann 40/50 series are located on the spring shaft above the door leaf and compensate for the weight of the sectional door. They are highly pre-tensioned and released with each opening and closing cycle – the springs are therefore constantly under high mechanical energy.
Important basic rules:
- Always replace both springs of a gate system together.
- Use only suitable clamping tools and safety devices.
- Use personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, stable ladder).
- Always disconnect the power to the gate drive before working on the spring shaft.
- If you are unsure or lack experience: Have work carried out exclusively by a specialist company.
Torsion springs are safety-critical components. Improper work on spring shafts, clamping sleeves, or clamping pins can lead to serious injuries. If you are not absolutely certain, be sure to consult a professional – our team will be happy to assist you with selection and organizing the installation.
🏁 Practical example from everyday industrial life
In a logistics facility with several Hörmann 40/50 series industrial sectional doors, a spring broke on one of the doors. On-site inspection revealed that the second spring was already showing significant signs of fatigue. By consistently replacing both torsion springs in pairs, including new tension springs and plastic tubing, the door system was safely put back into operation – with significantly smoother operation, consistent spring action, and restored workplace safety for personnel.

❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Hörmann Torsion Springs BR 40/50
How do I find out which Hörmann torsion spring I need?
First, check the aluminum tag on the spring – the identification code is usually located there (e.g., R228, L317, R510, L526). If there is no tag, please send us a photo of the gate's type plate and – if possible – of the spring area. Tormeister 24 will help you select the correct version.
Do I really always have to replace both springs?
Yes. The springs are designed by the manufacturer for a specific number of load cycles. If one spring breaks, the second spring is usually close to reaching the same load limit. For safety reasons , replacing them in pairs is strongly recommended .
Can I install the Hörmann torsion springs myself?
Torsion springs are under high tension. Improper handling can lead to serious injuries. Installation should only be carried out by trained professionals using appropriate tensioning tools and safety equipment.
What is meant by plastic pipe and tension spring?
In many Hörmann systems, the torsion spring is supplemented by a plastic tube and a tension spring . These components serve for protection, guidance, and reliable force transmission. When replacing a spring, these components should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
What do I do if the gate can no longer be moved?
If torsion springs break, the gate leaf may become difficult or even impossible to move. Do not force the gate open, secure the area, and contact our Tormeister 24 service team for technical advice.
