840L Applications

Ideal for research labs where space is tight and test samples small. Each 840L is configurable, rated for high forces (580 lb) and of course, controls very low loads because they can be outfitted with low force (50 g) load cells. Actuators are available with long stroke options and still offer high accuracy position control (0.1 micron).

* Static Stress Strain & Materials Properties
* Dynamic Impact & Characterization
* High Frequency Fatigue
* Micromechanical - High Resolution
* Versions available for incubator use.

Actuators & Transducers

Several small but powerful actuators are available to serve maximum force, speed (hz) and stroke. Each actuator is matched to a power pack which requires 110V or 220V. Load cells, LVDT's, encoders and extensometers are selected to needs. NOTE: servo-all-electric actuators offer very high resolution control and may be used in small low force tests with a small load cell.

Actuator & Transducer Sizing
* Actuator Selection - Max Force, Stroke, Frequency
* Load cell
* LVDT's and encoders
* Extensometers

Servocontroller Configuration

The Servocontroller is the heart of any test system and key to usable test data. The 2350 leads the industry in speed (20 kHz) and control resolution (24 bit) . It offers multiple features including user settable ranging, a lower noise floor and when coupled with servo-all-electric actuators offering amazing load, strain and stroke bandwidth.

Configure Controller
* Select 16 or 24 bit resolution
* Configure Signal Conditioners (currently max 16 CH)
* Configure Auxiliary Data Acquisition
* Configure Digital IO (currently max 32 CH)

Software Products

2350 controllers have two software control products to choose from - single channel (MTL) or multichannel (MS). In addition, optional software products include Global Data Sharing (GDS) developers tools, standard application software programs, and made to order applications.

Micromechanical Applications

Extremely small loads and displacements call for special attention to the configuration of the test system. Load cell and stroke sensor selection, coupled with high resolution signal conditioning makes it possible to stretch the performance and resolution of an 200L.

Choices include
* Small load cells - 50 g (0.1 N) full scale
* Precision extensometers and LVDTs'
