A system specially designed for high precision measurements of compression. With its high reduction ratio, this manually operated test stand is well suited for the measurement of small springs with low force levels. The displacement sensor gives a measurement of the flexion or height measured under load with a resolution of 20 µm.
The test stand is equipped with a set of adjustable limit stops. The measurement display shows the force and the displacement simultaneously and plots the graph curve for the spring. These data can be exported via the RS232 output of the display unit.
The parallelism of the lower plate can be adjusted to ensure correct seating for the spring. An accessory kit can be used to make measurements on tension springs.
