Manual Spring Tensile and Compression Testing Machine ZCTL-S200N

The ZCTL-S200N is a manual tensile and compression testing machine designed for measuring the mechanical properties of springs — including tensile (stretching) force, compression force and displacement — in laboratories, workshops and quality-control environments.

The machine uses manual loading (hand or mechanical screw/lever operation) to apply tensile or compressive force to the spring while its built-in sensors and LCD display record force and displacement values. Operators mount the sample between platens, adjust the test spacing, then slowly apply load while monitoring the display.

The ZCTL-S200N displays forces across its full-scale range (1–100% of the instrument capacity) with a force resolution of 0.01 N. Displacement resolution is 0.01 mm. The indicated relative error of the test force value is ±1.0%.

The machine provides a 220 mm stretching (tensile) space and a 200 mm compression space, suitable for a wide variety of spring lengths and compression/tension tests.

Standard platens have a 60 mm diameter. This platen size supports many common spring geometries; larger or specialized fixtures may be required for very large or unusually shaped springs (contact the manufacturer or supplier for options).

Yes. Although loading is manual, the display and measurement electronics require AC power: AC 220 V ±10%, 50 Hz (single phase) to operate the LCD and internal sensors.

Machine dimensions are 520 × 350 × 930 mm, and it weighs approximately 90 kg. It should be installed on a stable, level bench or floor with adequate space around it for safe operation and sample handling.

Force readings have a relative error of ±1.0% of the indicated value and a resolution of 0.01 N. For critical measurements, follow a regular calibration schedule and use proper fixturing and test procedures.

The standard ZCTL-S200N is equipped with an LCD display for direct reading. It does not include built-in PC communications or data-logging ports by default; contact the manufacturer or supplier to discuss optional data output or upgraded models if computer logging or printing is required.

Calibration frequency depends on usage and measurement requirements; a common recommendation is annual calibration using certified force standards or by a qualified calibration provider. Routine maintenance (monthly or per-use) should include cleaning platen surfaces, checking mechanical guides and fasteners, and lightly lubricating moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer.

Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts and between platens during loading. Wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses and gloves as needed). Do not exceed the machine’s rated capacity, secure samples properly, and follow lockout procedures when performing maintenance. Ensure the machine is on a stable surface with adequate clearance.

Yes. While the machine comes with standard platens, many spring tests require specialized grips or fixtures. Custom or optional fixtures may be available from the manufacturer or third-party suppliers — confirm compatibility with the 60 mm platen diameter and mounting interface.

For best accuracy and instrument longevity, operate in a clean, vibration-free environment at moderate temperatures (commonly 15–35 °C) and non-condensing humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive dust and corrosive atmospheres. Consult the manufacturer for specific environmental limits.

"1–100%" refers to the usable measurement span from the lower measurable limit up to full-scale capacity of the instrument (the exact full-scale force in newtons may vary by calibration and configuration). For the absolute maximum force value in newtons, refer to the detailed datasheet or ask the supplier/manufacturer.

Contact the machine supplier or the manufacturer’s technical support for spare parts, replacement sensors, optional fixtures, calibration services and troubleshooting guidance. Keep the machine model (ZCTL-S200N), serial number and purchase information available when requesting support.
