SPRING TESTING MACHINE

Load Cell for Spring Testing Machine: S-Type Load Cell

The best tools for evaluating a spring’s mechanical characteristics are Load Cell for Spring Testing Machine. Any modification to a spring, whether it in size, shape, or material, will affect the device’s mechanical characteristics and performance. S type load cells, commonly known as s beam load cells, are designed for a range of applications. Common applications include medical equipment such as patient lifting systems, as well as process weighing/general measuring applications for hopper and suspended tank weight measurement. Our small s-shaped load cell line is available in both low and large capacities. When paired with electronics, any sort of load cell installation may be quickly accomplished while preserving accuracy and reliability. As a result of hermetic encapsulation, the S beam load cell is also available with IP68 protection.

Working Principle

The spring testing machine works on the principle of S type load cells. The S Type load cell operates on the following principle: the elastic body (load cell block, sensitive beam) deforms elastically in response to external force, causing the resistance strain gauge (conversion element) pasted on its surface to also deform. When the resistance strain gauge is bent, the resistance The value will change (increase or decrease), and the resulting resistance change will be turned into an electrical signal (voltage or current) by the accompanying measurement circuit, completing the process of converting the external force into an electrical signal.
This is a Dynamic Testing Process, where the Spring will be subjected to continuous Tension & Compression testing mode, to understand the Yield point and to evaluate the spring constant.

Installing An S-Type Load Cell

Choose the suitable sensor range and ascertain the rated load of the employed sensor in accordance with the necessary operating environment. Even though the load cell itself has a limited capacity for overload, it is best to avoid this scenario when installing and using the load cell. Occasionally, a brief overload could permanently harm the sensor. The load cell needs to be handled carefully, particularly for small-capacity sensors that use elastomers made of alloy aluminium. A significant output inaccuracy is likely to result from any vibration-induced shock or drop. Before installation, wire in accordance with the instructions using the standard wiring method: Green is the power supply’s positive signal, connected to SIG+; red is the power supply’s positive pole, connected to EXC+; black is the power supply’s negative pole, connected to EXC-; and white is the signal The blue wire represents the positive feedback connected to SEN+, the yellow wire represents the negative feedback connected to SEN-, and the negative pole is connected to SIG-. The wire’s colour may differ according to manufacturer. There is no way to open the sealed sensor shell, protective cover, or lead connector at will. The sensor cable has been adjusted at the factory based on the output resistance value, so it is not recommended to lengthen the cable on its own since this will alter the sensor output. Resistance should be soldered at the junction, moisture-proof sealant should be applied, and the resistance should be added again to bring it to the factory default output resistance if it truly needs to be extended in order to effect the accuracy of the entire sensor.

FAQs

Q. What is the use of an S-type load cell?

S-type load cells receive tension or compression output readings. Applications include tank weighing, hoppers, suspended loads and truck scales.

Q. How accurate is the S-type load cell?

Highly accurate (typically ±0.025% non-linearity) Universal (can be used in tension or compression)

Q. Can S-type load cells be used in compression?

S-type load cells are mainly used to measure tensile forces, but also are suitable for compressive force measurement. As the name implies, these load cells are shaped like the letter S.

Q. What is a spring testing machine?

This is a Dynamic Testing Machine, where the Spring will be subjected to continuous Tension & Compression testing mode, to understand the Yield point and to evaluate the spring constant and deflection.

Q. How does a spring tester work?

A six- or nine-component force measuring platform for the spring testing machine is a standard feature of testing systems. When loading the spring under compressive force, this makes it possible to precisely determine the spring junction sites and the force that results from the force components.
