Servo Hydraulic Compression Loading Testing Machines

Load frame is steel welded fabricaed. It is designed to withstand a few million times of full cycles of loading without any sign of distortion or fatigue. These frames are light in weight. The base carries a fine finished hydraulic ram and the lower platen.The top plate has the spherical seating to take care of any irregularity of the specimen surface or slight misplacement of the specimen from the central position. Front cover is provided, made of acrylic sheet, as a protection to the operator while at the same time giving an unobstructive view of the specimen under test.

Pumping Unit
Pumping Unit is kept on the left hand side of the loading unit. It is a multi plunger pump submersed in the tank and is powered by suitable capcity electric motor. Operating on 440 Volts, 50 Hz A.C. supply. (Other voltages optional).

It has an arrangement for automatic pacing system which is achieved by the combination of advance hydraulic and electronic system. Control signal from the electronic system is passed on to the high speed proportional valve, (closed loop system) as shown in the figure which in turn controls the flow of oil into the the pacing rate constant irrespective of any change that occurs in the specimen during the process of testing. Pacing rate is set on strain or stress basis. All the set parametres are entered through computer. The machine is very simple to operate. Load is automatically released after the peak value is achieved.
