Front Loading Universal Testing Machine

SSS Make Hydraulic Grip Front Loading Computerized Universal Testing Machine is designed for testing metals and other materials under tension, compression bending, transverse and shear loads. Hardness test on metals can also be conducted.

Principal of Operation :

• Operation of the machines is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen to a separately housed load indicator. The hydraulic system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on rupture of test pieces. Load is applied by a hydrostatically lubricated ram.
• Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the pendulum dynamometer system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamometer is also of self-lubricating design. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamometer is transferred through a lever system to a pendulum. Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates the load indicator pointer and the autographic recorder.
• The deflection of the pendulum represent the absolute load applied on the test specimen. Return movement of the pendulum is effectively damped to absorb energy in the event of sudden breakage of a specimen.

Salient Features :

• Open type cross head
• Hydraulic wedge action grips
• Long test stroke and dual test space
• Loading accuracy as high as ± 1%
• Straining at variable speeds to suit a wide range of materials.
• Printer & PC graphs enable study the behaviour of the material.
• Motor driven threaded columns for quick effortless adjustment of lower cross-head-to facilitate rapid fixing of test specimen.
• Simplicity in reading because of digital readouts.
• Wide range of standard and special accessories.
• Easy change from plain to threaded and screwed specimens.
• Large effective clearance between columns enables testing of standards specimens as well as structures.
• Simple controls for ease of operation.
• Robust straining frame of an extremely rigid construction.
• Safe operation ensured by means of safety devices.
• Fully enclosed and protected pressure transducer.
• RS 232 serial port to transfer data to computer for analysis/storage evaluation etc.
• Manual control & release valve operation.
• Load Capacity : 100 kN, 200 kN, 400 kN, 600 kN, 1000 kN, 1200 kN and 1500 kN.

Optional :

• Servo controlled Motorized Valve incorporating of control modes - Standard manual control, Load rate control, Elongation rate control, Load hold mode, Auto start & initial valve open start.
