Spring testing for compression springs, tension springs, spiral springs & more

Determination of spring constant, spring rate & spring force

The QUASAR universal testing machines can be equipped with appropriate pressure plates or tension eyes for spring testing.

Universal testing machines from GALDABINI – use as spring testing machine

GALDABINI – Universal testing machines can be used, among other things, as spring testing machines. This software automatically evaluates all the necessary results:

  • spring length Lo
  • spring rate / spring constant C
  • force at L1
  • force at L2
  • Setting cycles can be programmed before the actual measurement
  • an average value can be calculated between loading ramp and unloading ramp
  • an average value can be calculated for a guided spring
  • etc.


With appropriate testing tools, the following can be tested:

  • Tension springs
  • Springs as spacers
  • Leaf springs
  • Disc springs (due to the small deformation paths, a direct measuring deformation gauge is recommended for disc springs)
