Description

Accuracy: Quality Class 1 / EN ISO 7500-1 /ASTM E 4 / EN 12390-4
Sizes: 2000 kN (450 000 lbf)

Operating Principle

Our compact and robust four-column load frame, meticulously designed for exceptional torsion resistance. This load frame incorporates backlash-free braced columns, ensuring unparalleled stability during testing. Equipped with a bottom-mounted plunger drive featuring a hardened piston, stroke indicator, protective cover, and limit switch for precise stroke limitation. The load frame’s piston and cylinder are finely ground, guaranteeing smooth and reliable operation. The hardened pressure plates with centering markings provide versatility for various testing needs, and the tiltable upper pressure plate allows for fine adjustments up to 3°. The control column houses all hydraulic components, including the pressure oil unit and servo valve, providing a centralized and efficient setup. The load frame is complemented by the ToniTROL II digital measuring and control system, facilitating seamless test preparation, execution, monitoring, and evaluation. The intuitive testXpert III software enables convenient test analysis on a connected PC. Control is achieved through a servo valve within a closed loop system, while the high-precision oil pressure transducer ensures accurate measurement of the test load.
