Spring Technology

Development and consulting in the field of technical springs from the raw material to calculation, production, testing and use by the end customer.
Tribological tests on springs and assemblies
Strength testing on components and assemblies
Applied research
Training and further education on spring-specific topics

Spring calculations
- Consulting on the design and use of springs (static and dynamic)
- Execution of analytical as well as finite element calculations
- Development of spring calculation software
Spring production
- Development of technical process and machine-based Solutions
- Optimization of spring production with its individual steps such as forming (e.g. coiling), heat treatment, shot peening, pre-setting
Spring measuring and testing
- Determination of spring characteristic, transverse forces, line of action of forces
- Oscillation testing (natural frequencies, strain gauge measurement technology)
- Load cycle test (time and fatigue strength)
- Geometry measurement (optical)
- Development of measurement methods and measuring equipment
- High-speed video recordings
Spring materials
- Evaluation of materials with regard to suitability for the manufacture and function of springs
- Determination of material parameters (tensile, compression, bending and torsion tests, hardness determination)
Spring lab
- Equipment for spring manufacturing
- Equipment for spring testing
- Equipment for material testing
