Medium Capacity Servohydraulic Fatigue Testing Machines up to 500 kN

Overview
Medium-capacity servohydraulic systems are used for fatigue testing, as well as quasi-static tests, on materials and components up to 500 kN capacity. Depending on the configuration and accessories used, these systems can perform low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue tests, crack propagation and fracture toughness tests, and other tests. Versions with lower t-slot tables, ideal for testing of components and structures, are also available. Each system can be easily configured for high or low-performance fatigue tests with appropriate sized servo-valve, manifold, and hydraulic power unit to suit the particular application.

All systems are equipped with the advanced features of the 8800 digital controller, Console Software, and the unique fatigue-rated Dynacell™ load cells. WaveMatrix™ Dynamic Testing Software provides the backbone for running many dynamic tests. Other application specific software modules, such as LCF3 Low Cycle Fatigue or any of Instron’s Fracture Mechanics Suite, allows other standardized tests to be run.

These dynamic systems, when combined with Bluehill^® 2 Software and appropriate accessories, are ideal for running a variety of static tensile, compression, flexure, peel, tear, and friction tests.

Medium-Capacity Servohydraulic Systems include:

• 8802 Systems accepting actuators up to 250 kN Capacity
• 8803 Systems for 250 or 500 kN Capacity
• 8804 Systems for up to 500 kN Capacity
