A new high capacity motorised force tester is designed for compression and tension testing of springs, packaging, metals, fabrics and other items requiring up to 2.2kN of force Generous clearance and throat depth accommodate a broad range of sample shapes and sizes
The TSFM500 features a remote control unit for added safety during testing.
A digital travel display and set of limit switches are available as options.
The tester's durable and rigid column minimises bend, making the TSFM500 particularly well suited for precision spring testing.
The operator can select from a wide speed range, from 0.2 to 5.5in/min.
Stepper motor design eliminates speed variation with load, for accurate and repeatable results.
The TSFM500 is compatible with Mark-10 digital force gauges and gripping fixtures.
