COMPLETE SPRING TESTING
We are the only lab in the UK solely dedicated to spring testing. It is crucial to find out if a spring will perform as expected in service and catch any problems before they occur. All testing is confidential and impartial.
FATIGUE TESTING
Fatigue testing springs is the only way to validate their expected life. It can take as little as 3 days to test a spring to ten million cycles, usually regarded as the point at which the spring can be said to have infinite life. From 30 mm deflections and 40,000 N maximum load.
LOAD & TORQUE TESTING
Our calibrated load testing range is 0.4 N to 100 kN for both compression and extension - we also offer non-axial load testing. We can torque test from 0.005 Nm to 100 Nm, including manufacture of custom fixtures where necessary.
MATERIALS TESTING
Our routine material testing services include: tensile testing of wire, torsion testing of wire, optical metallography for structure, surface quality and hardness. We also offer bend, twist and wrap tests and coating thickness determination.
FAILURE ANALYSIS
Springs are often critical components in a huge number of products across many sectors including medical, oil and gas, and transportation. Failure in service is at best unacceptable and at worst catastrophic. We believe it is not only important to understand how a spring failed but why, minimising the risk of future failures.
70
We've been testing, researching and working with springs every day for over 70 years. This gives us the edge when it comes to problem solving as there's nothing we haven't seen before - trust in the spring experts.
