Used INSTRON 4501 #9351536 for sale

INSTRON 4501 is a state-of-the-art materials testing instrument designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials with precision and reliability. The instrument provides crucial insight when characterizing materials that are subjected to stress, fatigue, fatigue-creep, and other variables. 4501 offers both high accuracy and stability as well as a wide selection of features to operate the instrument safely and effectively. INSTRON 4501 is a 100 kN capacity testing system, well-suited for a variety of tests on materials as thin as 5 microinches and as thick as 3" thick. It features an endurance testing stage of 20x20x5", a fatigue testing stage of 7x5x3", and a short-term testing stage of 6x4x3". Its high functionality facilitates wide range of testings such as hardness, ultimate tensile strength, fatigue testing, compression and impact testing, shear and flexure testing, dynamic testing, and more. 4501 can be automated or operated manually and requires very little maintenance. It utilizes a 5 Hz maximum frequency interruptable controller, which allows users to vary the frequency within a large range. The controller features a constant engineering load rating of 4500 pound-force per line, a two-stage tare protection detection design, and a one-built-in break detection system. The instrument can be operated with a variety of data acquisition software such as LabVIEW, LabWindows, TruTM, and DataLINK, as well as with industry-standard force controllers. INSTRON 4501 is equipped with two independent load frames that feature a motorized assist and air rams to help speed up initiation of the test. Operator safety is improved with several safety enhancements such as a dual emergency stop switch and an e-stop system. Additionally, the ergonomic design of the instrument improves operator comfort and reduces set-up time for multiple tests. In addition to these features, 4501 also offers a variety of accessories to improve the instrument's performance and accuracy. The modulated direct current is compatible with mDigitalTM Load cells and the dual-diaphragm pneumatic-controlled load cells. The load frame has a manually adjustable fixture, permitting detectors and transducers to be placed on any part of the test sample. Furthermore, the load frame's gravity-bob motion allows samples to be moved under the loading arm for accurate alignment. Overall, INSTRON 4501 is an effective instrument designed to provide accurate and reliable testing results. Its versatility and ease of operation make it an ideal tool for engineers and researchers looking to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials.
