Long-Travel Extensometer Series MFE
This semi-automatic extensometers are designed for testing on extensible materials as rubber, elastomers, plastics, films/foils, textiles and any other similar elastic materials. Available are 900 mm and 1200 mm travel versions which both can be used with single column and dual column universal testing systems.
Both units offer motorized opening & closing of the measuring arms. The unit is well suited to be used up to specimen break including higher loads and brittle specimen materials.
The MFL can be connected to partly or fully automatic testing machines with hydraulic grips. The strain can be measured from the elastic range to fracture for almost all types of samples. When used in combination with the transverse models, the MFL extensometers are ideal for testing the deep-drawing properties of thin sheets. The MFE units are also available for the use in environmental chambers with extended measuring arms. The available temperature range is from -50°C to +350°C.
Both units offer motorized opening & closing of the measuring arms. The unit is well suited to be used up to specimen break including higher loads and brittle specimen materials.
