High Capacity Fatigue Testing Systems

Servohydraulic Fatigue Series up to 5000kN

Instron high capacity systems are servohydraulic fatigue testing systems that perform high force static and dynamic tests on specimens up to 5000 kN. These machines use the same software, electronics, and interfaces as all of our general hydraulic fatigue machines, which ensures continuity and consistent experience across machines in your laboratory. Instron will also provide support from dedicated project engineers to design and manufacture high capacity machines and accessories to meet your needs.

The challenges involved with purchasing and installing a machine of this size are very different from those of a more common, lower load capacity fatigue machine. We have an expert team of experienced project engineers who will support you from the initial configuration process through to the final installation and acceptance testing.
