Design and Analysis of Helical Spring Testing Machine: A Review

Spring is an essential component used in many engineering’s and mechanisms for proper functioning of that machine for maximum efficiency, applications for which springs are used are automobile suspension, IC engine valves, measurements of weights, for energy storage ,two wheelers, brakes, clutches, shock absorber, etc.. But sometimes spring used in above applications leads to number of flaws such as manufacturing flaws, processing flaws like defects occurs at the time of hardening sometimes this causes more hardened spring which has more stiffness value and sometimes causes a less stiffness value hence creating a problems while used for spring applications and also creates a problems in working of that machine components. For bringing the new ideas and concepts to the life engineer has to be focused. Therefore, for economical manufacturing of products modern techniques has to be constantly invented and implemented. At the same speed, time, quality and accuracy factor are also considered. In the proposed project we are performing design and analysis of helical spring testing machine. The design and analysis of helical spring testing machine will be used to test the parameters such as the value of force needed for predetermined displacement of spring, the value of displacement induced for predetermined force applied on spring and to hold the compressed spring for a specified duration of time to see if it regains its original length after the removal of force. The design of spring testing machine based on the specification and data provided by the company.
