Note: Supports only tensile testing.
| Maximum test force | ±6 to 80 kN |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature range | RT to +100 °C -20 to 300 °C |
| Applicable sample | CT test sample |
Bolt Testing Jigs
Screw Tensile Test Jig
This jig is for tensile fatigue testing of various nuts and bolts. Various grips sizes are available depending on the bolt size.

|---|---|
| Operating temperature range | RT to +50 °C |
| Applicable sample | Nuts/bolts |
Screw Looseness Test Device
This device allows testing various parameters to determine the loosening process of bolts. It applies a vibrational displacement in the thread tightening direction and in the perpendicular direction and then measures the change in tightening force in relation to the number of vibrations.
| Maximum test force | ±20 kN |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature range | RT to +100 °C -20 to +300 °C |
| Applicable sample | CT test sample |
Compression and Bending Test Jigs
Compression Plate
Compression plates are available with both he top and bottom fixed or with the top compression plate mounted on a spherical seat.

| Maximum test force | 50/100 kN |
|---|---|
| Max. dynamic bending moment | 2/6 k N/m |
| Operating temperature range | RT to +100 °C -196 to +300 °C |
Axis Adjustment System
Consisting of an axis adjustment unit, axis center sensor testing sample, strain amplifier unit, and dedicated axis adjustment software, this system allows adjusting the tilt between grips and adjusting the axis centers in the horizontal direction. It allows users to obtain highly reliable data by eliminating any bending stresses on samples.
Various Environmental Control Testing Systems
Various environmental control testing systems are required to simulate harsh environments or environments where materials are actually used, such as thermostatic, high-temperature, or extremely low-temperature environments. Therefore, an environmental control system can be added in the large testing space provided by the Servopulser series system.
