Instron systems have been supported by thousands of accessories over the years, spanning multiple generations of testing equipment and application needs. As technology evolves, some of these accessories transition out of production and move into later phases of Instron’s Product Lifecycle Policy. This page highlights a selection of major accessories that have entered Phase 2, 3, or 4, indicating reduced availability, limited service options, or full obsolescence. Because the total number of legacy accessories is extensive, this list represents only a portion of what exists. If you do not see your accessory listed or need help identifying its lifecycle status, please contact us for assistance.
