Instron designs and manufactures materials testing systems for mechanical, dynamic, and physical testing applications across virtually every industry — from aerospace and automotive to biomedical, electronics, plastics, and construction. Our product range covers everything from sub-newton force measurement to 2,000 kN high-capacity structural testing, with solutions for tensile, compression, bend, fatigue, impact, rheology, torsion, and more. Retrofit and upgrade options are also available to extend the life and capability of existing Instron systems.
Electromechanical and hydraulic universal testing systems for tensile, compression, bend, peel, tear, shear, friction, puncture, and other static mechanical tests. Available across a force range of 0.02 N to 2,000 kN in single column, table model, and floor model configurations — including the 3400 Series, 6800 Series, 5980 Series, and Industrial Series.
Dynamic testing systems for fatigue, fracture mechanics, biaxial, multi-axial, high strain rate, and thermomechanical fatigue testing. Available in electrodynamic and servohydraulic configurations across a wide force and frequency range.
Drop tower and pendulum impact testing systems for measuring the impact resistance and energy absorption of plastics, composites, metals, and other materials. Used across product development, quality control, and compliance testing to Charpy, Izod, and puncture impact standards.
