Fatigue Testers Ensure The Reliability Of Your Springs

Fatigue.JPG (624800 bytes) Your springs are highly stressed, critical components.  Your customers demand a long working life and high performance.  To be completely certain that your springs achieve the highest standards of reliability and performance, the experts at IST - the unique centre for research and development of spring technology - recommend fatigue testing of sample spring batches.

IST is a long-standing supplier of high quality fatigue testing machines which have a proven track record both in industry and in our own extensively used test laboratories.

Our standard range of machines are designed to be easy to set up and use, and are built to give many years of excellent service.  All of the machines have variable speed facilities, from 10% to full-scale to enable accurate simulation of service conditions.

Fatigue Testers - Standard Features Include:

· Infinitely variable stroke for accurate testing of all spring designs.
· Automatic cycle counting for continuous display of cycles achieved.
· Test station fully guarded.
· Pre-set test duration to allow weekend and holiday period testing.
· Failure detection and automatic shut-down to allow 24 hour unattended running.
· Force feed oil lubrication to all critical moving parts for reliable, continuous operation.
· Variable test speed with speed read-out for reliable simulation of service operation.

Standard Options

When you invest in an IST fatigue tester you are not just limited to standard models. If you have a special need we can incorporate your specifications into any of our standard machines.  The following are examples of the types of work we can carry out:

· Special jigging for spring types / assemblies.
· Environmental test chamber, e.g. temperature or corrosion.
· Load cell failure detection to trip failure on loss of spring load.
· Increased testing envelope (spring length / diameter).
· Increased test stations on single station machines.
· Special machine for spring types, e.g. anti-roll bar machine.
· Other supply voltages available.
