800 Series Fatigue Test Machines

The 800 Series All Electric Dynamic Fatigue Test Machines perform static, dynamic and fatigue testing applications that range from 0.5 N to 50 kN (11,250 lbf) full scale. Compared to servohydraulic test machines, 800 Series All Electric Dynamic Test Machines offer distinct advantages, including a drastically lower cost of ownership:

  • No oil used
  • Lower purchase price
  • Lower maintenance costs, labor and downtime
  • Lower cost low energy – single phase power
  • Quiet operation makes it ideal for office usage
  • Much smaller footprint
  • Superior load quality and test results in low force (0.5 to 5 N (1 lbf)) applications

910 Series Fatigue Test Machines

The 910 is a standalone single-footprint, highly integrated servohydraulic test system used for strength, fatigue and fracture tests of materials and products. 910 configurations cover force capacities from 5 kN to 25 kN (1,125 lbf to 5,500 lbf) and deliver test speeds to 100 Hz. It is well suited for static, dynamic and fatigue loading. The 910 is a unique standalone portable package that increases lab versatility. It can be moved from classroom to classroom in training and teaching applications.

910 Test Systems do not need any special on site preparation or additional utilities like cooling water or three phase power supplies. It includes a single phase, 220 V power supply with no external hoses or loose cables. It is ideal for classroom or lab usage.

910 Series Servohydraulic Test Systems are standard solutions engineered to deliver high performance at an affordable price. Some of benefits of the 910L compared to other fatigue test solutions include:

  • Affordable price
  • Low maintenance
  • Low energy usage
  • Quiet operation for use in office environment
  • Small portable footprint

Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF) Test Systems

Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) test systems adds the sophistication of performing realistic thermal cycling with mechanical fatigue testing to simulate real-world service conditions of materials and engineered components. Thermomechanical fatigue tests characterize materials response to cyclic mechanical loading with fluctuating temperature, common to high-temperature alloy component materials used in jet engines and heat exchangers, using combined in-phase and out-of-phase mechanical and thermal cycling. TMF compatible test systems include special application software that can read temperature and total strain measured by an extensometer and calculate and control mechanical strain in real-time.

ASTM E2368 covers TMF properties of metals under uniaxially loaded strain-controlled conditions. Within ASTM E2368, a fatigue cycle is considered as a condition where uniform temperature and strain fields over the specimen gage section are simultaneously varied and independently controlled. ASTM E2368 TMF tests are performed in support of such activities as materials research and development, mechanical design, process and quality control, product performance, and failure analysis.
