Máy thử lò xo SPRINGTEST 1

Precise verification of springs with display of the force and displacement

The Springtest 1 is a very simple and economical system to control compression springs of small capacity up to 1 kN. It includes a very accurate force gauge, a manual test stand, a digital ruler and a special compression plate for springs.

The measuring head (internal load cell with strain gauges) indicates the force applied, the ruler displays the deflection or the height under load. The bottom self levelling plate guarantees the parallelism of the plates. The system Springtest 1 is very easy to use and it is designed to perform your measurements quickly. The quality and repeatability of the results are ensured through a specific design made by Andilog Technologies.

The manual test stand features a small footprint, durable design, portable and a digital travel display. Combined with our Centor force gauges, the Springtest 1can measure any compression spring in production or laboratory for an affordable price.

Graphical force gauge Centor Easy

The force gauge Centor Easy is designed to meet the production needs of its users and offers indispensable feature for quality controls, such as: ease of reading with its large backlit graphical display, internal memory of the last 100 values, RS232 output and ability to set thresholds with visual and sound alarms. The M5 thread at the back of the device enables the mounting of on the wire tester Wiretest T1.

Its highly efficient measurement chain enables it to use a sampling rate of 1,000 Hertz with a resolution of 1/10,000 FS and a total error of less than 0.1% FS.

Key Features of the Centor Easy:

• Fail/ Pass analysis (with beeping alarm)
• Displays simultaneously real time and peak force values
• Quick action lever handle (provided with 2 handles)
• Small footprint and portable all in one measuring solution
• 8 internal sensors available: 5N, 10N, 25N, 50N, 100N, 250N, 500N, 1 000N

Self-leveling plate and compensate for distortions

During the first use and periodically, it is necessary to adjust the parallelism between the compression plate and the self levelling plate. To do this, loosen of the self-levelling plate and go down with the compression plate to bring together the two plates. To ensure even greater accuracy and compensate for distortions in the system, it is recommended to apply a force between two plates equivalent to the force measured on your springs. Once this force is reached, lock the self levelling plate by tightening the screws. Then press zero on the displacement sensor.

You can then test all your springs. Simply place the spring on the Springtest 1, then turn the handle to go down with the force gauge to have the desired height. Write then the value of the force or transfer this value to your computer.>> Watch the video of the self-leveling plate

Principle of operation:

• The force gauge with its internal load cell, Centor Easy model, measures the compression force of the spring. The compression force in Newton (or Kg, gr, lb, oz) is displayed on the force gauge.
• The displacement value is measured and displayed on the linear ruler located on the side of the manual test stand (in mm or inch).
• The test stand is hand operated, thanks to its wheel-handle, with a displacement of 2.54mm (0,1 inch) per revolution.
• The spring is installed between the top compression platen and the bottom self-leveling compression platen.
• To initiate a test, the handle-wheel is manual operated. The upper compression platen that is connected to the force gauge is then driven in the compression direction and spring is pressed. the force required to compress the sample is monitored by the force gauge, providing a direct measurement of the raw data and maximum force.
