Machine pour tester les propriétés mécaniques des matériaux.

Designation:

Universal testing machine for conducting mechanical tensile, compression, and flexural tests on materials and biomedical devices.

 

Manufacturer: Instron (USA).

 

Main Function:

  • Highly precise measurement of tensile, compressive, and flexural forces.
  • Rigorous evaluation of the mechanical strength, elasticity, and deformation properties of various materials.
  • Extensively utilized in biomedical research, sports equipment material testing, and industrial quality control.

 

Technical Characteristics:

  • Maximum Capacity: Force capability up to 50 kN (depending on the specific frame configuration and load cell).
  • Force Measurement Accuracy: ± 0.5% of the reading, ensuring laboratory-grade precision.
  • Crosshead Displacement: Vertical travel up to 1000 mm depending on the chosen model height.
  • Testing Speed Range: Fully adjustable from 0.001 to 500 mm/min to simulate various stress velocities.
  • Control and Data Acquisition: Powered by Instron's advanced Bluehill® Universal software for intuitive test programming, real-time tracking, and sophisticated data analysis.
  • Accessory Compatibility: Extremely versatile; compatible with a vast array of tensile grips, compression platens, and specialized fixtures designed for biomedical tests (e.g., tissue baths).
  • Configurable for both vertical and horizontal mounting to accommodate diverse testing requirements.

 

Usage:

  • Biomechanical testing on biological tissues such as bones, ligaments, tendons, and synthetic biomaterials.
  • Stress, strain, and durability testing on sports equipment (e.g., shoe soles, racket strings) and medical implants.
  • Fundamental scientific research in human biomechanics and material sciences.
  • Routine industrial product calibration and strict quality assurance control.
