Instron launches Electropuls testing platform

Instron has introduced the Electropuls E10000 and E10000 Linear-Torsion test instruments, which are suitable for a range of testing requirements.

Utilising linear motor technology, the Electropuls systems are capable of running slow-speed static tests through to high-frequency dynamic tests at more than 100Hz.

They also enable a range of mechanical tests to be conducted.

From evaluating the tensile strength of soft tissues to fracture mechanics, to durability testing of athletic footwear, the Electropuls systems provide a single high-quality testing platform.

Unlike conventional servo-hydraulic technologies used for dynamic testing, the Electropuls systems feature no oil or high-pressure power supply, are air-cooled, and only require a single-phase electrical supply.

Both models are capable of up to 10,000N (2250lbf), and the E10000 Linear-Torsion features a combined linear-torsion actuator for bi-axial tests of materials and components.

These high-accuracy instruments incorporate many user-orientated features, including: a stiffness-tuning wizard to ensure achievement of critical loads, a T-slot table for flexible test set-ups, and electrically operated crosshead lifts.
