Get the Highest Value Universal Test Machines
Choose from 10 different frames with 100's of configurations
Choose from 10 different frames with 100’s of configurations which allows you to optimize your testing capabilities and pick exactly what you need. While other companies only have 2 or 3 frames to choose from, our extensive product line of universal test machines gives you the options you have been craving for.
That means you get the exact system that matches the specifications you need and fits within your budget. More choices mean fewer compromises.
| Series | Maximum Force | Ideal Applications | Relative Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electromechanical | |||
| 100 Series | 10 kN (2,250 lbf) | Low force tension and compression tests, bend, flexure, peel, shear, stress relaxation, and creep tests | $ |
| 200 Series | 5 kN (1,125 lbf) | Elastomer testing, high deflection tests, rubber testing, peel, static, tension, compression, bend, flexure, shear, stress relaxation, and creep tests | $$ |
| 300 Series | 500 kN (112 kip) | Static tension and/or compression applications which require higher forces, higher speeds or increased test space, plastic tests. Mechanical tests including tensile, compressive, bend, bond, flexural, fracture, peel, shear, tear, stress relaxation, and short term creep tests | $$$ |
| Static Hydraulic | |||
| 600 Series | 2 MN (450 kip) | Testing metals (bar, plate, pipe, tube, rebar, structural), wire (rod and strand), fasteners, concrete (cubes, cylinders, beams), wood | $$$ |
Each series of test machines are modular, which means they are easily modified for different tests. If you find that the machine test space is smaller than your largest test sample, we will get you load frames with wider width column spacing or with longer columns. Each system can be application engineered to perform uniaxial tensile, compression, cyclic, shear, flexure, bend, peel, tear and material characteristics tests such as elongation and modulus.

100 Series Modular Universal Test Machines
Type: Electromechanical
Force: 10 kN (2,250 lbf)
100 Series Electromechanical Universal Test Machines are modular tabletop systems ideal for tensile tests requiring load capacities up to 10 kN (2,250 lbf). This affordable series includes five lightweight load frames and four actuators that deliver different force/speed capacities. We offer several choices of price/performance controllers and test software, and a selection of load cells from the full scale actuator rating down to sub-gram load levels. The 100 Series is our most flexible series, making them a popular choice.
