Actuators provide forceful testing
Zwick has rounded off its product offering and developed a new line of electric actuators.
Zwick has rounded off its product offering and developed a new line of electric actuators For the load range between 1, 2 and 5kN Zwick offers linear units which apply the test force in tensile or compression direction to a defined point at a speed of up to 30,000mm/min

Digital tester keeps check on solenoid actuators
The Zwick Roell Group reckons it is the first to develop a digital machine specifically for testing solenoid actuators.
In fact, these performance data cover nearly the full range of component testing.
The decisive advantage of this modular system is the control of the actuator, which is done via the Zwick testControl control electronics, and the parameter input effected via the proprietary Zwick testing software testXpert.
With this package, all the functions of a standard testing machine are made available, such as defined ways to specific positions with highest precision, variable force regulation or bumpless transfer between modes during testing.
Additionally, this product fits smoothly into the mechanical concept followed by all Zwick testing machines, guaranteeing that all tools and accessories making up the Zwick product portfolio can be deployed.
And, of course, Zwick is able to supply custom tools should the actuator be needed for special test jobs, such as joining, pressing-in or assembly process steps.
A further plus of the electric actuator is its flexibility when incorporating it into the testing device.
The actuator can be installed in a legacy load frame or in any location desired in the line.
Or it may even be used as a supplementary second test axis in a materials testing machine.
The electronics are compact, requiring only a very small space in a separate switch cabinet meeting IP54 requirements. Request a free brochure from Zwick Testing Machines ...
