5900 Series - Advanced Mechanical Testing Systems

The 5900 Series Universal Testing Instruments offer exceptional performance and are designed with enhancements that deliver superior accuracy and reliability, improved ergonomics, and an enhanced overall experience for the operator. The most common uses of these mechanical testing systems are for tensile and compression testing; however, they also perform bend, peel, shear, tear and cyclic tests. Frame types include the 5940 single column tabletop for low-force testing up to 2 kN; the 5960 dual column tabletop systems for mid-range testing up to 50kN; and the 5980 floor model systems for heavy- duty, robust testing up to 600kN. The control panel is an integral component of the testing system, decreasing set up time and increasing testing efficiency through the use of programmable live displays and soft keys. Tests can be set up and run directly from the control panel.

Instron testing instruments are routinely found in applications and industries, such as plastics, metals, composites, elastomers, components, textiles, aerospace, automotive, and biomedical.
