3 and 4 Point Fatigue Flexure Fixtures

3 and 4 Point Fatigue Flexure Fixtures

3 and 4 Point Fatigue Flexure Fixtures

The flexure fixture allows a variety of flexural and fracture toughness bond tests to be performed, including determination of flexural modulus, flexural strength and flexural yield strength. 

Easy to install, the 3 point fixture can be modified with an optional conversion kit to provide a 4 point bending conversion. 

Lower anvils are adjustable to accommodate specimens of different spans. Deflection of the specimen can be measured either through crosshead displacement, or for more precise measurement use the mid span direct measurement deflectometer plunger with clip on extensometer. T

工作原理

The specimen is supported on two precision machined (free to rotate or stationary) anvils of a defined radius. The force is applied either centrally (3 point) or at a defined distance either side of the center (4 point). The support beam is graduated lengthways in metric units for accurate positioning of the anvils, equally spaced to the center line.

This feature also applies to the 4 point loading beam and anvils.

應用範圍

  • Type of loading: static flexure, cyclic flexure tests. 
  • Specimen material: plastics, metals, alloys, composites, ceramics and other materials. 
  • Specimen shapes: strip, bar, components.

Air Cushion Isolators

Air Cushion Isolators

Air cushion isolators for 8800 Series

Air cushion isolators provide an effective method for reducing the transmission of vibration to and from a servo-hydraulic test system.

工作原理

Air cushion isolators are attached to the machine between the loadframe and the floor. The isolator is effectively a balloon which is inflated with compressed air to provide vibration absorption. Air cushion isolators are effective at frequencies above 15 Hz.

應用範圍

  • Reduction of transmitted vibration from servo-hydraulic test systems

Paper and board

Paper and board

Paper and paper board testing is important to the pulp and paper industry because of the demands placed upon it for a wide range of applications. 

In printing, for example, paper is handled from either cut sheets or rolls (webs) and the tensile strength and elongation properties must meet stringent customer requirements. In packaging, testing of corrugated paper is performed to measure the resistance of edgewise compression.

工作原理

TAPPI standards are applied for standard testing practices. Edgewise compression strength is tested per T-472 using special fixturing. Tensile breaking strength per T-404 is performed by using a set of Screw or Pneumatic side action grips with appropriate faces.

應用範圍

  • Testing method: Tensile, compression, puncture 
  • Specimen type: Paper (dry and wet), corrugated board (dry and wet)

Chuck Style

Chuck Style

Chuck Style Torsion Grips

These universal drill-type chuck grips can be used to hold round, hex or triangular specimens. The standard sets are available in both a keyless and keyed style that can hold a range of specimen sizes. 

Keyless operation lets you rapidly grip and release specimens. A comfortable, sure-grip sleeve allows you to hand-tighten the chucks. 

Keyed operation provides fast, easy tightening as well as quick, nonstick release.

工作原理

The Chuck Style grips are threaded into or bolted to the output shaft and/or torque cell of MT series frames. 

The chuck grips spin closed to clamp specimens during torsion testing. The jaws of these grips extend well beyond the chuck nose to accept a broad range of wires, cables, and cylindrical specimens. Both keyed and keyless chucks are available for gripping a variety of specimen diameters and include adapters for mounting to an MT series frame.

應用範圍

  • Types of Loading: torsion 
  • Specimen Material: various 
  • Specimen Types: round, hex, triangular

Axial-Torsion Wedge Grips

Axial-Torsion Wedge Grips

Axial-Torsion Wedge Grips

The application of both axial and torsional forces simultaneously under fatigue conditions requires special grip design. These grips utilize a wedge-action gripping technique making them suitable for flat specimens as well as cylindrical.

工作原理

The major grip components are the grip driver, wedge grip head, grip attachment flange and jaw faces.

The grip driver applies the clamping force to the grip head by moving it relative to the jaw faces.This causes the the jaw faces to clamping the specimen. 

The grip drive also incorporates 3 sets of anti-rotation sliders that transfer any applied torque from the actuator to the grip and specimen. The jaw faces are either serrated or V-grooved to accommodate flat or cylindrical specimens.

應用範圍

  • Axial/Torsion tests on flat or cylindrical specimens

Hydraulic Wedge Action Grips

Hydraulic Wedge Action Grips

Hydraulic Wedge Action Grips

Hydraulic wedge action grips feature an open front design, which facilitates easy loading of large specimens. This series can accommodate round specimens up to 90 mm (3.54 in) in diameter and flat specimens up to 90 mm (3.54 in) thick with capacities ranging from 300kN (67,500 lbf) to 2000kN (450,000 lbf).

Specially suited for industrial environments where dust and metal chips may be present, these grips have protective dust covers that fit easily over the faces to shield the moving surfaces. Optional adapter plates furnish an efficient method for mounting secondary load strings for lower capacity testing or other fixturing without removing the larger grip. 

工作原理

These grips are hydraulically operated via a manually rotated knob on the front of the grip. The grip body does not move during closing or opening. Hydraulic supply is typically from the main machine frame via a grip sub-manifold. Jaws are separable inserts held in a jaw carrier which are easy to install with no need to re-grease when changing jaw faces. Grip bodies have grease fittings to allow easy re-greasing of the carrier when needed. W-5380 and W-5390 feature magnetic seating.

應用範圍

  • Type of loading: tension, *Not suitable for through-zero/ reverse stress or fatigue testing 
  • Specimen material: metals

Elasticated Fabric Grips

Fabric Loop Grips are used for tension and elongation testing of wide or narrow elastic fabrics. This test is performed with various types or combination of materials, and tested at a constant-rate-of-extension. Loop Tension at specified Elongation and Elongation at Specified Loop Tension are test procedures that require 3 cycles to bring the specimen under test to a specified point and returned to a zero value as described in ASTM D 4964.

Fabric Loop Tensile Grips

工作原理

These grips have a U-shaped body style, and are also referred to as Band Clamps. One edge of the U is attached to a connector that mounts to the moving crosshead and to the base of the testing machine. The other edge of the U has a 6.5 mm (0.25 in) diameter which makes contact with the specimen. The specimen is wrapped onto itself and sewn at the end with two rows using a single needle stitch, forming a loop. This loop is then inserted around both the upper and lower grip and made ready for testing.
