 Jam Jen Techno Engineering is one of the manufactory
of the excellent quality composites Products.
 The comprehensive range of Industrial Products that
we offer is strictly sourced from the trustworthy and
genuine Manufacturers and vendors.
 Manufacturing of FRP products;
 INFUSION CONNECTOR.
 DIAMOND WHEEL.
 MANIFOLD.
 FIBERGLASS MOULD.
 RESIN INLET CONNECTOR.
 CATCH POT.
Our objective is
 To reduce the weight of steel spring with leaf spring made
of composite material.
 Strength to weight ratio need to be improved.
 The main aim is to compare to the load carrying capacity,
stiffness and weight savings of composite leaf spring with
that of steel leaf spring at rated-load and over-load
condition.
 To analyze the bending strength.
 Weight reduction is now the main issue in automobile
industries.

ideas in education
 Composite materials have main applications in
aerospace, automobiles and marine industries,
because of their less weight, good stiffness and less
corrosive properties.
 Weight reduction is one of the major factors
 It results in less fuel consumption; economize
maintenance of vehicle and optimum utilization of
natural resources.
 The suspension leaf spring is one of the potential
items for weight reduction in automobile
 Leaf spring is a suspension system for vehicles that has
been used as far back as medieval times.
 The spring leaf is made up of an arc-shape, slender
piece of steel that is stacked with the same material in
smaller sizes and bolted together creating a reinforced
bow-like item.
 It is attached to the rear axle and the chassis providing
support to any additional weight that is added to a
vehicle, preventing the axle from buckling in and
snapping from the pressure of an extreme amount of
weight that it was not originally designed to carry.
 Composite materials are materials made from two or more
constituent materials with significantly different physical
or chemical properties
 These materials, when combined, produce a material with
characteristics different from the individual components.
 The individual components remain separate and distinct
within the finished structure.
 The new material may be preferred for many reasons:
common examples include materials which are stronger,
lighter or less expensive when compared to traditional
materials.
 Material cost :
Banana Fiber = Rs.250(1kg)
Coconut Fiber = Rs.30(1kg)
Epoxy Resin = Rs.450(1kg)
Resin Hardener= Rs.300(1kg)
Approximation of manufacturing a Natural
composite Leaf Spring cost about Rs.800 per Leaf.
