Used TA INSTRUMENTS DMA Q800 #9302226 for sale

TA INSTRUMENTS DMA™ Q800 is a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) designed to measure mechanical properties such as modulus, viscoelastic parameters, creep, stress relaxation, fatigue and fracture toughness. It can also measure the dynamic modulus of a material, enabling researchers to gain further insights into the behavior of a material with respect to temperature. This instrument combines a broad selection of mixing, temperature, force and time control options in a reproducible, automated testing environment. The core of TA INSTRUMENTS DMA Q800 is its modulated force capability, which allows researchers to accurately quantify frequency dependent mechanical properties. Featuring high-precision force and displacement amplifiers, the DMA can measure modulus over a range of frequencies (10-1 Hz to 105 Hz), enabling researchers to investigate multiple phenomena including micro vibration, sound pressure and higher-frequency response. With its digital control loop, DMA Q800 also allows for accurate temperature control through its Continuous Mode or Burst/Burst+ functionality. This allows for the temperature range to be expanded beyond the traditional mechanical testing ranges, providing users with the flexibility to measure properties at a wide array of temperatures. TA INSTRUMENTS DMA Q800 is made up of three main components: the force source, the displacement source, and the controller. The force source provides a range of forces from 0 to ± 20,000 N, while the displacement source measures displacement of up to ± 1cm. The controller is the 'brains' of the system, with a microprocessor which continuously monitors and coordinates the entire test procedure. The Q800 also incorporates a variety of expansion options, including additional force and displacement measurements, a signal conditioning amplifier, and user-programmable signal processing functions. DMA Q800 is ideal for a variety of materials testing applications, particularly those involving rubber and plastics. It can be used to assess material properties in order to determine the best formulation for a particular use case, or for failure and fatigue analysis. Furthermore, TA INSTRUMENTS DMA Q800 allows for comprehensive data output, providing users with an unparalleled level of information regarding the material's response characteristics.
