🔧 Technical Description & System
Hörmann – Industrial sectional doors series 40 / 50
BR 40 / BR 50 – Industrial sectional doors
Torsion spring with plastic tube and tension spring
IND & RES – Industry, Commerce, Large Garages
Load-bearing component for weight compensation – always safety-critical
Torsion spring (corresponding R/L type) including plastic tube & tension spring
Note: The exact spring data (length, wire, spring travel, spring rate) depend on the respective Hörmann type and are determined via the R/L marking on the spring flag or the type plate of the gate.
🛡️ Safety & Workplace Protection – always replace both springs!
Hörmann torsion springs are designed for a defined number of load cycles . If one spring breaks on a gate, the second spring is already close to its calculated breaking point .
👉 Principle: Always replace both springs – never replace just one.
A spring that hasn't been replaced can break suddenly and without warning . This leads to an acute risk of injury , damage to the gate and drive, and system downtime.
Furthermore, it should be noted that working on torsion springs is among the most dangerous tasks on gate systems. Tormeister 24 strongly recommends that this work be carried out only by trained specialists using appropriate PPE and clamping tools .
🔍 Identification: Which Hörmann spring do I need?
Hörmann identifies its torsion springs either with an aluminum flag directly on the spring or via the type plate on the door . The type plate indicates the model number, such as R228 , L310 , R510 , etc.
- 1. Check the spring flag: Read the R or L number directly on the aluminum flag of the spring.
- 2. Check the type plate on the gate: If the flag is missing → take a photo of the gate's type plate.
- 3. Send photo to Tormeister 24: You can upload images and data via our contact form .
- 4. We assign the appropriate spring: Tormeister 24 helps with the assignment of the correct Hörmann springs.

⚙️ Application & exchange in service
Hörmann torsion springs of the 40/50 series are used in industrial sectional doors to compensate for the weight of the door leaf . The spring assembly works together with shafts, drums, plastic tubing, and a tensioning system to reliably balance the weight of the door leaf for manual operation or a motorized drive.
- Installation on the torsion shaft above the door lintel.
- Design and combination of spring pairs via R/L marking.
- Tailored to gate leaf weight, size, design and desired load changes.
- To be operated in accordance with Hörmann safety regulations.
🏁 Practical example from the service sector
A Hörmann industrial sectional door at a freight forwarding company broke down due to a torsion spring failing. The spring type R317/L317 was identified by its identification tag. Both springs were replaced with compatible Hörmann torsion springs from Tormeister 24's product range, the door was re-tensioned, and tested. The result: the door now operates smoothly again, the drive mechanism is relieved of stress, and the operational safety of the entire door system is restored.

❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Hörmann Torsion Springs BR 40/50
Do I really always have to replace both springs?
Yes. Hörmann springs are designed for a defined number of cycles. If one spring breaks, the second is usually close to reaching the same wear point . If it isn't replaced, it can also break at any time – posing a high risk of injury and damage.
How do I find out which spring I need?
You can identify the correct direction via the R/L marking on the aluminum flag of the spring or via the type plate of the Hörmann door . If nothing is legible, simply send us a photo via the contact form of Tormeister 24 .
Can I replace the torsion springs myself?
The clear answer is no. Torsion springs are under high preload and are a safety-relevant component. Work on them is only permitted for trained specialists with appropriate equipment. Operators are obligated to ensure workplace safety.
Are these genuine Hörmann springs?
These items are designed for Hörmann industrial sectional doors of the 40/50 series and are identified by the original R/L markings. For precise specifications and compatibility questions, please contact our service team .
What happens if the spring is incorrectly designed?
Incorrectly designed springs lead to incorrect weight compensation, can overload the drive and mechanism, and in the worst case, cause dangerous situations during gate operation. Therefore: Always refer to the type plate/tag and consult a specialist – never guess.
