Foreword (This foreword is included for information only and is not part of ANSI/DASMA 102-2018, Specifications for Sectional Doors.

This standard was originally developed by the Technical Committee of the National Association of Garage Door Manufacturers and was approved as an American National Standard with the designation ANSI/NAGDM 102. The Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association, International, (DASMA) was formed through the consolidation of two associations that served the garage door and operator industries for many years, NAGDM and the Door Operator & Remote Control Manufacturers Association (DORCMA).

The Technical Committee of the DASMA Commercial & Residential Garage Door Division revised the standard in 2003, and the ANSI Board of Standards Review granted approval of the edition as an American National Standard on October 22, 2004. The current revised version of the standard was approved by the DASMA membership on January 15, 2014, and the Board of Standards Review granted recognition as an American National Standard on July 19, 2018.

DASMA recognizes the need to periodically review and update this standard. Suggestions for improvement should be forwarded to the Door & Access Systems Manufacturers Association, International, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, 44115-2851.

9.3.1 Torsion Shafts

9.3.1.1 Tubular steel torsion shafts shall be

of a sufficient wall thickness to prevent a torsional (radial) deflection of the shaft in excess of 1.5 degrees per foot (305 mm) of shaft length from the torque source to point of delivery. Linear deflection of a torque shaft shall not exceed one tenth inch (2.5

mm) per foot (305 mm) of shaft length with proper supports in position.

9.3.1.2 Solid steel torsion shafts shall be of

a diameter and composition sufficient to prevent torsional (radial) deflection of not more than 2 degrees per foot (305 mm) of shaft length from the torque source to the point of delivery. Linear deflection of the torque shaft shall not exceed one tenth inch (2.5 mm) per foot (305 mm) of shaft length with proper shaft supports in position.

FORMULAS

Formulas are used to determine the angular torsional deflection in degrees for tubular wall and solid torque shafts of any wall thickness or shaft diameter. No allowance made for torsional shear modular loss by set screw deformation of tubular shafts, or keyways milled into solid shafts.

Tubular steel shaft formula:

a = 584 x MIP x 12

(D4 - d4) x 11,500,000 Solid steel shaft formula:

a = 584 x MIP x 12

D4 x 11,500,000

Formulas used to determine maximum inch/pound torque limits for a specified number of degrees of torsional deflection per foot of shaft length.

Tubular steel shaft formula:

MIP = a x (D4 - d4) x 11,500,000

584 x 12

Solid steel shaft formula:

MIP = a x D4 x 11,500,000

584 x 12

Explanation of factors involved in formulas:

a = Angle in degrees deflection per foot of shaft length

MIP = Maximum inch/pounds torque

D4 = Outside shaft diameter to the 4th power d4 = Inside shaft diameter to the 4th power

9.3.2 Cable drums shall be so designed to

allow cable to be accumulated or dispensed in an orderly manner and to prevent lapping or cable chafing. Cable drums shall be selected with a minimum safety factor of 4, based on the maximum torque for the applied load requirements.

9.3.3 Spring Fittings

9.3.3.1 Winding device shall have a

torsional safety factor of 4. The portion of the winding device interconnecting with the spring shall be of a design that properly retains a torsion spring when fully wound or unwound, and withstands the radial and lateral forces exerted by the torsion springs.

9.3.3.2 Spring retainers and stationary

sleeves shall have a torsional safety factor of 4.

Spring retainers, or stationary sleeves, shall be so designed to withstand the radial and lateral forces exerted by the torsion spring to properly retain the spring when fully wound or unwound and allow the application of torque.

9.3.4 Each side bearing plate shall be

designed to support the weight of the counterbalance assembly, plus the total door weight, multiplied by a safety factor of 2. They shall be adequately reinforced to resist any lateral force exerted by the torsion shaft and properly retain the shaft bearing in alignment with the torsion shaft.

9.3.5 Spring anchor plates shall be so

designed as to adequately transmit torque from the stationary end of a torsion spring to the building structure and, at the same time, support the weight of the torsion shaft, multiplied by a safety factor of 2, in a level attitude. The anchor plate shall be able to withstand the lateral forces exerted by torsion spring.

9.3.6 Shaft bearings shall be of a type

and design that adequately support the radial forces dictated by the weight of the counterbalance assembly and door weight, lateral forces exerted by the torsion shaft, and shall be able to tolerate minor shaft misalignment conditions.

9.4 Cable Assembly. The cable assembly that

transmits door load shall be selected using a safety factor of 5. Cable shall be securely anchored at each end. Cable diameters shall not be greater than 5% of the diameter of the cable drum or cable sheave with which it will be used.

10. RESPONSIBILITIES OF OTHERS

10.1 Transmitted Loads

10.1.1 The track system shall be attached

to the building at the points specified by the manufacturer (Section 9.2.2) using a method capable of supporting the door loads at each point. In addition, the supports shall resist twisting and swaying loads imposed on them by the track system.

10.1.2 The installation instructions shall

advise that it is important that forces transmitted from an installed door system to the building structure be considered in the design of building openings for doors. These forces are evident at the building jambs when a door is subjected to wind pressure, at each spring anchor pad and its connection to the building header, and at all points where the horizontal track is attached to the building. Since these forces will vary, installation instructions shall specify that load information may be obtained by contacting the door system manufacturer.

11. DISCLAIMERS

11.1 Certification that a door system meets this

standard does not constitute a warranty that the system will perform in accordance with the standards set forth in this standard, including but not limited to durability, thermal transmittance/air infiltration, or loads. Certification implies only that the design of the listed door system, when tested in accordance with these standards (which may be random testing, if so specified), meets the applicable tests.

11.2 Many tests required by this standard are

inherently hazardous and adequate safeguards for personnel and property must be employed in conducting such tests.
