Die Spring Testing
Using Die Spring Testing Precise Enough to Deliver Top Results
In the world of heavy machinery and industrial applications, precision is paramount. At Western Spring Manufacturing, our die springs undergo rigorous testing to guarantee impeccable performance.
- Load Testing:
This test involves subjecting the die spring to different loads to verify that it can compress and return to its original position without deformation or failure. It ensures that the spring can handle the expected loads in the application. - Deflection Testing:
This test measures the spring’s deflection under a specified load. It helps determine the spring’s behavior when subjected to a particular force and ensures it meets the design requirements. - Stress and Strain Testing:
This involves evaluating the spring’s response to applied stress. It helps determine the spring’s elastic and plastic deformation behavior and ensures it can handle the expected working conditions. - Material Analysis:
Testing the material properties of the spring, including tensile strength, yield strength, and composition, ensures it meets the specified standards for the application.

We needed a spring for an old hydraulic valve and we couldn’t find anything from any hydraulic shop. I called Western Spring and talked to Alex and he said bring it In and we will see what we can do. We had a production line down so this was a hot part. Got in and Alex had pulled some comparable springs and we found one that worked. If it wasn’t for Alex and Western Spring we would still be line down. Thanks for all the help and the great customer service, you guys run a great shop.
