OF20kN – High-Load Tensile and Compression Stage
We are now able to offer an integrated tensile/compression/torsion testing solution for your μXCT and Synchrotron applications. Using tensile testing with μXCT and Synchrotron provides a clear visual interpretation of how the properties of materials and composites change under different loading conditions.
The design of this testing stage allows it to be used with larger high resolution micro CT systems and Synchrotrons with forces up to 20kN. The system is controlled from custom software giving a wide range of control functions and a live display of load versus extension. The Deben Open Frame OF20kN™ System offers simultaneous torsion loading to 100Nm.
Optional furnace may be fitted for sample heating to 1,000°C
Features
-
- Top and bottom jaws contain independent high resolution rotation mechanisms allowing synchronised sample rotation
- Torque can be applied by rotating one jaw further than the opposite jaw up to 100Nm loading
- Tensile or compression load can be applied at the same time as torsion and loads can be applied and held while the sample is being rotated
- Sample rotation can be controlled in step or continuous mode from the associated imaging system or from the supplied control software
- Many different materials may be tested at loads from -20kN to +20kN, and torsion from -100Nm to +100Nm
- An optional furnace may be fitted for sample heating to 1,000ºC
- Acquisition software is supplied for system control, real-time data display and recording of force/extension curves
