Overview
Medium-capacity servohydraulic systems are used for fatigue testing, as well as quasi-static tests, on materials and components up to 500 kN capacity. Depending on the configuration and accessories used, these systems can perform low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue tests, crack propagation and fracture toughness tests, and other tests. Versions with lower t-slot tables, ideal for testing of components and structures, are also available. Each system can be easily configured for high or low-performance fatigue tests with appropriate sized servo-valve, manifold, and hydraulic power unit to suit the particular application.
All systems are equipped with the advanced features of the 8800 digital controller, Console Software, and the unique fatigue-rated Dynacell™ load cells. WaveMatrix™ Dynamic Testing Software provides the backbone for running many dynamic tests. Other application specific software modules, such as LCF3 Low Cycle Fatigue or any of Instron’s Fracture Mechanics Suite, allows other standardized tests to be run.
These dynamic systems, when combined with Bluehill® 2 Software and appropriate accessories, are ideal for running a variety of static tensile, compression, flexure, peel, tear, and friction tests.
Medium-Capacity Servohydraulic Systems include:
With up to 500 kN capacity, the 8802 and 8803 Servohydraulic Testing Systems are twin-column machines used for fatigue and static testing of a wide variety of materials and components.
|
With up to 500 kN capacity, the 8804 Servohydraulic Testing System is a 4-column machine used for fatigue and static testing of a wide variety of materials.
|
The 8800 Digital Controller is a state-of-the-art, fully-digital servohydraulic controller that utilizes Instron® core technologies, such as a 19-bit sensor resolution, 5 kHz update rates, and a patented Adaptive Control System.
|
Fatigue-rated Dynacell™ Load Cells feature built-in inertia compensation and help reduce dynamic load errors caused by grips and fixtures.
|
The high-efficiency 3520 Series of Hydraulic Power units are the perfect partner for your servohydraulic system, and can be configured with noise levels ranging from 58 - 63 dB (A).
