Model 1340

The Greening Model 1340 Suspension Spring Test Machine is designed to evaluate automotive and trailer leaf springs. The basic design utilizes design elements of load frame, fixturing, cylinder, and pneumatic over hydraulic actuator to conduct leaf spring compression tests. The stand may be free standing or secured to the floor. A GAI control computer and software system is employed for force and displacement control. The GAI control system will log and display test data on screen and has the ability to export a data file or graph to a printer. The control computer and monitor may be located on an adjacent bench or desk or mounted on a wall support and suspension arm (optional).

Instrumentation is provided to acquire and monitor deflection and load. The system is configurable for load, displacement, and cycle limits. This provides automatic shutdown capability for out of tolerance conditions or part failure. ata results are stored in an ASCII file which may be imported into an Excel spreadsheet for post test processing. Load vs. Displacement is displayed on screen during the test.
