Pegas puntir

Pegas puntir atau bandul puntir (Inggris: torsion spring) adalah sebuah pegas yang bekerja dengan memuntir ujung di sepanjang porosnya. Dengan kata lain, ia adalah alat elastis fleksibel yang menyimpan energi mekanis saat alat tersebut dipuntir.

Sebuah perangkap tikus yang ditenagai oleh pegas puntir heliks.
