Technical specifications
| Extremely high stiffness with very low compliance | Greatly improves stability and repeatability of results |
|---|---|
| Multi-axis load cell for shear force and axial load | Positioning a load cell directly above the sample significantly reduces the influence of mechanical friction on results |
| Switchable between simple shear and direct shear | Enables multiple types of testing using one system |
| Active height and load control | Allows for more advanced testing in research |
| Closed-loop control | Minimises overshoot and improves accuracy |
| Adaptive PID (peak and trough) control | Automatic PID adjustment to suit the sample characteristics, improving precision and tailoring the waveform to the specimen |
| Frame and cross-talk correction available | Improves clarity and resolution of data by eliminating mechanical and electrical noise |
| Independent electro-mechanical control for vertical and horizontal loading axes | Allows stable application of static and cyclic loads without using hydraulics, reducing complexity |
| Interlocked guard compliant with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC | Improves health and safety by preventing access to moving parts when under test conditions |
| Horizontal & Vertical Dynamic Frequency Range | 0.0001 – 5.0000 Hz |
| Horizontal & Vertical Dynamic Load | +/- 10 kN |
| Horizontal Travel | +/- 25 mm |
| Vertical Travel | +/- 50 mm |
| Sample Size (Simple Shear) | 50, 63.5, 66, 70, 100, and 150 mm diameter with accessories and 12 Confining Low Friction Rings |
