MT200BA Multi-Axial Tensile and Compression Stage

Microtest™ 200N stages have been specifically designed to allow real time observation of the high stress region of a sample with an SEM, optical microscope, AFM or XRD system.

Microtest™ MT200BA Multi-Axial Tensile and Compression Stage

The bi-axial tensile stage can be used to stretch sheet materials in two perpendicular directions simultaneously. Ideal for Benchtop, SEM, Optical, XCT and Synchrotron use, the MT200BA is used in materials science and solid mechanics to study the mechanical properties of materials like textiles, polymers, metal sheets, and biological soft tissues.

Deben biaxial tensile stages can be used for biaxially stretching sheet material such as textiles, including leather, and also various polymers. Two axes move and the opposite axes track on slides, for a full four axes system consider our quad-axis testing solution. The tensile stage allows engineers and scientists to study the effects of biaxial force upon various materials. Systems may also be used as a uniaxial tensile stage if so required. These stages are generally made to order but we do have some standard designs, contact us with your requirements. We can also make systems with very high force (up to 100kN) or miniature systems for bio-medical applications.
