These LFV Compact Series represents ergonomically and space saving test systems ideal for characterizing the static and dynamic properties of materials and components at force capacities up to 10 kN.
The hydraulic power supply of the machine is integrated in the base of the testing machine making this series extremely compact, space saving and easy to install.
The fatigue rated actuator is conveniently mounted in the upper crosshead. The system incorporates an extremely versatile lower integral T-slot platen. The corrosion resistant T-slot platen is well suited to mount grips & fixtures, specimens and any kind of engineering components or finished goods.
Typical applications includes monotonic (static) tension, compression, bend, shear and other tests, durability and fatigue tests including fatigue crack growth testing, testing of components and manufacturing assemblies for the biomedical, automotive, aircraft, electronic, plastic injection
moulding and other industries.
