The SP Series servo pneumatic testing machines offer highly efficient, rapid and reliable testing and is ideally suited to laboratory, production or clinical environments where efforts to restrict noise and contamination levels are paramount. Three different capacities are available and each is available with either a 50mm (2 ") stroke or 100mm (4 ") stroke.
 

Ideal for investigating the fatigue properties of a sample when applying cyclic loading, these systems are capable of performing rigorous fatigue tests at up to 40 Hz at 2 kN (450 lbf), 10 Hz at 10 kN (2248 lbf). The machine consists of a sliding, fully adjustable crosshead which is clamped by pinch bolts to twin chromed solid steel columns.
 

A servo pneumatic actuator is mounted to the cross head. A specially designed loadcell may be fixed to either the base or the crosshead. The system is controlled by a personal computer (not included), and specialist MICROSOFT WINDOWS™ compatible application testing software.
