Abstract

In many engineering machines and mechanisms spring is an essential component used for proper functioning of that machine for maximum efficiency, there are many applications of springs in automobile suspension system, measurements of weights, for storing energy such as in spring type accumulator, in shock absorber, in hydraulic components such as hydraulic cylinders, pressure relief valves, flow control valves etc. But according to our market survey and observations sometimes spring used in above applications having a many defects such as manufacturing defects, processing defects like defects occurs at the time of hardening sometimes this causes the more hardened spring which has more stiffness value and sometimes causes a less stiffness value of spring, hence this creates a problem on the applications of the springs for proper uses and creates a problem in working of that machine components. By considering this problem, we can easily measure spring stiffness by using this machine in low cost. In Industries they purchase the springs for their hydraulic valves but they are facing the problem of checking the spring stiffness. After understanding the Industries problems for spring testing we designed and developed hydraulic spring stiffness testing machine. The main objective of this project is to determine the stiffness which is commonly known as spring constant of a compression spring under various load. The kit which has been built into a machine to stretch or compress test springs, while measuring load and displacement is called spring testing kit. It tests springs and finds their properties good for mechanical workshops use.
