Developed for high-capacity tension, compression, bend/flex, and shear testing these frames are powered by a hydraulic pumping system that moves a piston assembly to provide the forces necessary for testing.
Features- Proven designs originate from the Baldwin® and SATEC™ lines, and include some of the most rugged and durable machines ever made
- Frames feature a dual test space, which eliminates the need to change fixturing when performing both tensile and compression testing
- Digital control electornics provide high accuracy and fast response - integrated controller automatically recognizes and calibrates transducers eliminating switches, pots, and dials
- Choice of Partner™ or Bluehill® 2 Universal Materials Testing Software providing the ultimate in ease-of-operation and flexibility
- Variety of crosshead styles facilitate loading/unloading of specimens
- Choice of grip actuation options including crank and pinion, and hydraulic lever action
