Torque of flat spiral springs

Question Name

Hello. Nice to meet you, my name is Super Beginner.

There are some things that I don’t understand when ordering a flat spiral spring. In an experiment, I wanted to use a flat spiral spring, but I didn’t know the torque, so I used a rubber band. As a result, I found that the required torque from the rubber band was 5.75 [N* mm]. So I have a question.

The flat spiral spring is used by winding it several times in the opposite direction of rotation, right? When I disassembled the headphones, it was like that … Considering that the flat spiral spring is wound in the opposite direction about 5 times at the beginning, I think that the required torque will be 5.75/5. Is the torque when ordering 1.15 [N * mm]/1 time?

This may be a rudimentary question, but I would appreciate your advice.

Super Beginner, thank you for writing!

[Question] The mainspring is used by first winding it several times in the opposite direction of rotation, isn’t it?
