Fixed Platens
Our compression fixtures make it easy to perform compression tests. Fixed platens are rigidly fixed, stiff and resistant to off center loads. That way, parallelism is ensured during specimen failure. Standard options include platens where the edge of the platen can attach to optional displacement transducers, allowing measurements of direct displacement between two (equal sized) platens during a compression test.
- Enables uniform compression stress distribution tests
- Available as spherical or fixed platens
- Available in steel, lightweight aluminum, bio-compatible delrin, or stainless steel construction
- Available in a wide range of dimensions with test machine adapter to match your existing test machine
