Beam And Leaf Spring
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10504
Beam And Leaf Spring (SKU LSK-MTE-10504) is a two-in-one test kit for a testing machine: it bends test beams on knife-edge supports and deflects a heavy-duty leaf spring of vehicle-suspension design. It suits load-deflection practicals in mechanical, civil and automobile engineering. The support beam, supports and spring fittings are manufactured by Science Lab Supplies on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and the kit is priced from there for colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The beam and leaf spring kit is specified point by point below. In short, a heavy-duty box-section support beam sits under the specimens, two adjustable knife edges on it form a simply supported beam, and for spring tests the leaf spring rests on its rollers on two flat supports while the testing machine applies force and measures deflection.

Applications and Experiments for the Beam And Leaf Spring Kit
With the beams, students relate applied force to deflection for different test beams and spans, then check their results against beam theory. With the leaf spring, the same force and deflection readings give the actual spring rate of a real suspension component.
- B.E./B.Tech civil and mechanical: deflection of simply supported beams, with beam width and depth measured on a dual-scale Caliper Vernier.
- Automobile and mechanical engineering: leaf spring rate and suspension behaviour.
- Diploma engineering and TVET modules: load-deflection graphs compared with theory, and with a hand-loaded Cantilever Apparatus for a fixed-end case.
Standard Scope of Supply
The kit includes the box-section support beam, two knife-edge supports, two flat supports, the leaf spring with rollers and the spanner and hexagon tools needed to fix the parts to the testing machine. The testing machine is a separate product, and the test beams for your order are confirmed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one kit or one for every machine in the department. It sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and the testing machine or a Coil Spring kit can be added so all parts of the practical arrive together.
Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar as a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Beam and spring kits can be requested in a short note via the contact page or gathered in the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains supply against published tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the beam span be changed?
Yes. Students adjust the position of the knife-edge supports on the support beam to set the length of beam under test, and repeat the test at different spans.
What result does the leaf spring test give?
The testing machine compresses the leaf spring and measures its deflection; the force and deflection values then give the actual leaf spring rate of a vehicle-type suspension spring.
Is this kit made by Science Lab Supplies?
Box-section beam, knife edges and leaf spring fittings are all produced at the Saha, Ambala factory, which means colleges and contractors get technical answers and a quotation from the makers themselves.
Are tools needed to fit it to the machine?
The spanner and hexagon tools needed to fix the support beam, knife edges and spring supports to the testing machine are included with the kit as standard supply.
