Springs are elastic objects used to store mechanical energy and they change shape in response to external forces, returning to their original shapes when the forces are removed. Their most common forms are as compression, tension and torsion springs but engineers develop specialty springs for specific applications.
Springs and spring-like assemblies play a hugely important role in millions of products and it would be challenging to think of a single industry that is not dependent upon springs in one way or another. From the tiniest of springs used in watches, ballpoint pens, children's toys through to huge damper springs used in planes, trains and automobiles, we take for granted the value these simple components add to our daily lives.
Testing that the forces applied to the spring cause it to deflect the specified distance, is the job of a Spring Tester. Mecmesin's spring testing systems are based around control-software which automatically measures the load and displacement applied to the spring by its load-frames and sensors. From a fine-wire torsion spring to a heavy-duty compression spring, Mecmesin has the testing solution to your spring testing requirements.
