The SH-F series Servo Hydraulic Floor Mounted Testing machine offers highly efficient, rapid and reliable testing. The system is capable of performing rigorous fatigue tests at up to 70 Hz at full load.
 

The machine consists of a sliding, fully adjustable crosshead which is clamped by pinch bolts to twin chromed solid steel columns. Optional side lifting rams are available for automatic crosshead adjustment. The crosshead is set prior to testing and can accommodate samples of varying dimensions.
 

A dynamically rated actuator is mounted to the cross head, available in various force capacities and stroke for optimum dynamic response. A specially designed, highly accurate loadcell is fixed to the crosshead. The sample is secured between the solid base and actuator rod by a comprehensive range of grips, jigs and fixtures.
 

The system is controlled by a personal computer (not included), using specialist MICROSOFT WINDOWS™ compatible testing software, and also contains its own embedded RISC processor and digital controller ensuring tests run smoothly even in the event of computer failure or disconnection. Integral safety features include an adjustable safety collar to prevent the crosshead from slipping when adjusted, emergency cut-off switch and an optional splinter shield.
