Spring Testing
A spring is a mechanical component that is typically made of alloy and is designed to store and release mechanical energy. It is a flexible object that can be stretched or compressed and will return to its original shape when the applied force is released. Because of its outstanding mechanical properties, the spring is used in almost every industry. Regardless of its end use, a spring needs to be properly tested to ensure it can operate successfully.
Alfa Chemistry's experts have years of experience in spring testing. Through a variety of tests, including tensile, compression, fatigue and hardness tests, our experts can assess the mechanical properties of springs and determine whether they are suitable for specific applications.
Application of Springs
Springs are commonly used as mechanical components because of their ability to store and release mechanical energy. Some of the most common applications for springs include:
- Springs are used to absorb shock and vibration in vehicles and provide a smooth ride.
- Springs are used to store energy to provide power for the movement of clocks and watch mechanisms.
- Springs are used in a variety of industrial equipment to provide tensile, compressive or torsion forces.
- Springs are used in mattresses to provide support.
- Springs are used in a variety of toys, such as wind-up toys, to provide power.
- Springs are used in various exercise equipment, such as resistance bands and trampolines, to provide resistance and tension.
