Material Test Frames – Dual Column

The MMD Series are dual column, table-top testing systems operated using our L3 Material Test software. These systems are ideal for a variety of applications including plastics, composites, metals, rubber, automotive/aerospace components, medical devices, adhesives, foams, film and more. Perform tensile, compressive, cyclic, flexural, shear and other types of testing. Three model load capacities are available: 10kN, 30kN and 50kN. Testers feature a granite base with all-metal columns and pre-loaded ball screws for excellent extension control and precision measurements. Magnetic travel limits are adjustable to prevent over travel situations. Testers are inherently stiff and we include stiffness compensation correction to eliminate all errors due to mechanical deflection in the entire load string. Communications to the all-in-one touchscreen desktop computer is via USB. Frames feature digital and analog I/O and support for two extensometers. Data sampling is selectable between 1-2000Hz. MMD test frames may use ULC, MLC or FLC load cell sensors. Sensors are IEEE 1451.4 compliant. Frames may be fitted with optional splinter shield.

The Chatillon MT Series manual test stand is a flexible, easy-to-use solution for force measurement. It comes in two versions: the MT150 and the MT500.

This manual test stand is ideal for tensile testing, compression testing, peel, and flexural testing.

The MT Series manual test stands are often used with the DF Series digital force gauges to check the force necessary to depress a button, or with the LG/DG mechanical gauge to perform low range pull tests at the end of a production line where caps are placed on spray bottles. These test stands are commonly used to test the force in the Packaging Industry as for folding cardboard boxes into shape.

The MT Series test stand comes with:

• a hook

• compression plate

• threaded and eye end type adapters

Gauge mounting hardware is optiona

MTH Manual Tester

The MTH Manual Tester is a single column, manually-operated force tester. The MTH has a load measurement capacity of 550 lbf (2500N, 250 kgf) and can be used for compression or tensile testing.

The mechanical advantage afforded by the MTH-550’s precision, high-resolution worm gear design lets you test effortlessly. One rotation of the hand wheel positions the crosshead 0.03″ (0.75mm). Total stroke for the MTH-550 is 4″ (102mm). Force measurement is performed using a Starrett digital force gage.

The MTH-550 is an ideal, affordable solution for spring testing. Fit the MTH-550 with a digital force gage and optional digital scale to determine spring rates, initial tension and more.

The hand wheel may be positioned anywhere along the 30″ (762mm) column, and with a 4″ (102mm) throat, large samples can be accurately tested. The base may be permanently affixed to your workbench. Optional gage adapter kits are available for use with non-Starrett force gages. Quick-change clevis adapters let you mount a large selection of Starrett testing fixtures.

MTL-110

The MTL-110 can measure force up to 110lbf (500N, 50kgf). This tester is ideal for component testing and its compact design fits small work spaces. The MTL-110 has a 6″ (152mm) stroke. The tester’s quick-action lever moves the rack and pinion crosshead 3″ (76mm) per revolution. The lever may be positioned anywhere along the 20″ (508mm) column, and with a 6″ (152mm) throat, large samples can be accurately tested. Options include a digital scale for measuring deflection distance. The base adapter adjusts to accommodate different gage models.

The MTL may be equipped with optional legs so that you can test in a horizontal position.

MTL-330

The MTL-330 can measure force up to 330lbf (1500N, 150kgf). This tester can be used for tensile and compression testing applications, and is ideal for spring testing. Fit the MTL-330 with a Starrett digital force gage and optional digital scale to determine spring rates, initial tension and more. The MTL-330 can be easily mounted to your workbench for secure testing.

Like the smaller MTL-110, the quick-action lever moves the rack and pinion crosshead 3″ (76mm) per revolution. The lever may be positioned anywhere on the 30″ (762mm) column, and with a 4″ (102mm) throat, large samples can be accurately tested. Optional gage adapter kits are available for use with non-Starrett force gages.

The MTL may be equipped with optional legs so that you can test in a horizontal position.
