Starrett offers a complete line of measurement, analysis and testing solutions for the design engineer, production manager and quality professional. Spring performance begins with the materials used in its design; next to the manufacturing processes employed; and finally through to the quality evaluation.
M aterial C haracterization A spring’s overall performance begins with choosing the appropriate materials for its application, service and life cycle. Starrett L3 systems are used to characterize materials and to determine their performance capabilities. Material stress and strain measurements, using a Starrett L3 system, ensures that the material selected for your spring meets the design and performance requirements you require. Requirements such as material stiffness, elasticity, strength, and resilience are easily measured using a Starrett L3 system. Confidence in your spring performance begins with the material used in the spring design.
P erformance A nalysis Verifying your spring design can consist of determining spring rate, spring constant, free length and initial tension. Having the ability and methods to precisely determine the spring’s performance and operation can be accomplished using the Starrett L2Plus system. With its graphical measurement capability, you see your spring’s performance--- graphically. With data sampling at up to 2000Hz, you can use a variety of measurement tools to find precise points, slopes for spring rates, hysteresis traits, elasticity, linearity and nonlinearity performance.

Once in to full production, Starrett S2 and S1 systems can be used to verify spring performance, repeatability and quality. Quality testing can be performed quickly and easily without compromising measurement accuracies or testing methods. Starrett systems can be used to evaluate and determine spring tolerances and basic performance characteristics including free length, spring rate, spring constant and initial tension. Conditioning can be employed including scragging and solid height. Testing may be either a single or two-point method. Certification and compliance reports can be created and issued with your products for your customers.
