Used INSTRON 1135 #9009024 for sale

INSTRON 1135 is a high quality lab equipment and accessory designed for tension and compression testing of a wide range of materials. 1135 features a unique combination of an electromechanical actuator and load frame specifically designed for research into the mechanical behavior of structural materials. The load frame consists of a bedplate, upper crosshead, lower crosshead and a rigid alignment equipment. The bedplate is made of a large heavy-duty steel plate to provide maximum stability for the load frame. The upper crosshead and lower crosshead are connected to the bedplate by precision graduated steel columns. Together these components form a rigid X-Y alignment system for testing specimen. The electromechanical actuator is a high-power motor coupled to the upper crosshead via a direct drive lead screw. The motor is capable of producing up to 100kN of continuous force in either direction, with a resolution of 0.001kN. The actuator also features a long-life direct drive clutch for cycle testing, a power slip-clutch for overload protection, and a load-lock function for specimen position verification. In addition to the rigid frame and powerful motor, INSTRON 1135 has a variety of accessories and options available. This includes advanced controls, advanced methods packages, heating and cooling systems, an extensometer, universal grips, and an optional tension and compression force link for use with the extensometer. The advanced control unit allows for the easy setup of test methods and the acquisition of results. The advanced methods packages provide the user with the ability to control the testing parameters during a test, including creep and fatigue testing. 1135 is used by researchers and engineers for professional material testing applications. The high-power actuator and rigid alignment machine makes INSTRON 1135 an ideal device for gathering accurate and reliable data on the mechanical behavior of diverse materials and components. Furthermore, accessories like the extensometer, universal grips, and force links provide the user with the capability to enhance tests with more accurate results.
