DYNAMIC AND FATIGUE TESTING SYSTEMS
Instron offers an extensive range of fully-integrated dynamic and fatigue testing systems from 1000 N up to 5000 kN. Incorporating servohydraulic, servo-electric and linear motor technologies, these test instruments cover a broad range of fatigue, dynamic, and static testing applications. These applications include high-cycle fatigue, low-cycle fatigue, thermo-mechanical fatigue, fracture mechanics, crack propagation and growth studies, fracture toughness, bi-axial, axial-torsional, multi-axial, high strain rate, quasi-static, creep, stress-relaxation, and other types of dynamic and static tests.
ElectroPuls All-Electric Dynamic and Fatigue Test Systems
Linear electric motor driven dynamic test machines for fatigue and fracture mechanics testing.
General Purpose Hydraulic Fatigue
General purpose servohydraulic systems ideal for high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue, fracture mechanics and quasi-static testing.
Low Strain Rate 8862 Servo-Electric Systems
8862 Electric Actuator Systems are uniquely designed for the low strain rate requirements of LCF testing, utilizing electric technology to minimize infrastructure requirements and running costs.
High Strain Rate VHS Systems
High-Strain Rate VHS systems characterize strain rate dependent materials such as automotive crash structures at test speeds of up to 25m/s.
Axial-Torsion 8850 Systems
Axial-torsion 8850 series systems are available for static and fatigue testing with combined axial and torsional loading of up to 2000Nm and 250kN.
ElectroPuls 16-Station Testing Systems
ElectroPuls 16‑station fatigue fixture allows the simultaneous testing of up to 16 specimens, significantly reducing total test times and improving overall testing efficiency. This high‑capacity setup helps laboratories accelerate development cycles and deliver new products to market even sooner.
High Temperature Fatigue
High temperature fatigue testing includes Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF), and Electro‑Thermal Mechanical Testing (ETMT), all of which are essential for evaluating material performance under extreme thermal and mechanical conditions.
8800MT Controller / Controller Upgrades
Controller upgrades are a great way to give existing hydraulic equipment a new lease of life and bring the benefits of modern electronics and software to your laboratory.
