Used INSTRON 5500 #189347 for sale

INSTRON 5500 is a high-performance laboratory equipment and accessory designed for a variety of testing applications. It is manufactured by INSTRON, a global leader in force and materials testing equipment. 5500 is an electromechanical testing equipment for tension, compression, cyclic, fatigue and torsional tests on a variety of materials. The system includes load frames, controllers, extensometers, grips and other components. Its modular and interchangeable components can be added or removed to meet specific application requirements. This versatile unit has the capacity to measure forces up to 5kHz and can handle loads up to 1MN. The machine also includes a comprehensive data acquisition tool to measure both stresses and strains. The load frame is designed to optimize the performance of the asset. It has a modular construction and is available in a range of configurations with up to three actuators. The standard frame includes a base, vertical column, crosshead, and load cell. It is also available with an optional floating carriage model for corrosion resistance testing. The electric motors provide high-precision movements and positioning, and the column design increases the rigidity of the frame. The equipment also includes a selection of controllers which regulate the speed, force and displacement. The computer-controlled controllers are programmable, allowing users to save and recall test profiles. Additionally, the system is equipped with an intuitive user interface, enabling the user to rapidly set up and accurately execute tests while automating complex testing sequences. INSTRON 5500 is also equipped with an extensive range of accessories, such as grips, data acquisition systems, extensometers, control software, and other components. Grips provide rigid support and secure clamping during testing, while data acquisition systems provide reliable load and displacement measurements. Extensometers measure the elongation or contraction of the material being tested, while control software provides a range of analysis tools for data processing and visualization. 5500 is an excellent choice for quality control, research and development or other applications requiring precise force and material testing. Its modular design, interchangeable components, high-performance load frames, and intuitive interface allow users to create repeatable, reliable test results quickly and easily.
