Designed primarily for high-capacity tension testing, the LX single test space design also allows for compression, bend/flex, and shear testing. The LX Model is powered by a hydraulic pumping system that moves a long stroke actuator assembly to provide the forces necessary for testing.
Features
- Adaptable frame design with large, single test opening and long test stroke accomodates a variety of specimen sizes, grips, fixtures, furnaces, and extensometry.
- Digital control electronics provide high accuracy and fast response – integrated controller automatically recognizes and calibrates transducers, eliminating switches, pot,s and dials.
