Spring Testers and Testing Machines

Springs are extremely simple but critical components across a wide range of industrial equipment. This means operators need to be able to count on them to perform as expected even in the most demanding applications. This is why a spring tester is a valuable piece of equipment across numerous sectors. A spring tester is a universal testing machine that can measure the compression, tension and displacement qualities of various springs. With the use of a spring testing machine, operators can ensure the springs of various sizes and shapes live up to their requirements and will deliver the performance they need to. They can be either manual for basic testing needs or motorized for more-precise applications.

Imada offers manual or motorized spring testers in vertical or horizontal configurations. Lever-operated manual systems enable rapid compression and tension spring testing. Wheel-operated manual systems enable slower, more precise movement with the hand wheel. Motorized compression testers offer the most control and highest degree of repeatability with the ability to set a constant test speed and range of movement. All spring testers can be configured with a digital force gauge with data output for analysis by data acquisition software. An optional digital distance meter to measure displacement is available.

Applications for Spring Testers

Spring testing is important for equipment across multiple sectors. Because springs are so ubiquitous in virtually all areas of industry, it’s no surprise that a spring testing machine can be found in almost all sectors. For example, manufacturers use them to test the springs they use in their products as well as the machinery they use to make them to ensure the highest levels of quality control. The automotive and aerospace industries use them to test suspension systems and other components that may be subjected to extreme forces. In the medical device industry, a spring testing machine ensures that the tiny springs in pumps meet extremely stringent safety and performance standards.
