Servo Hydraulic Compression Loading Testing Machines with Stress & Strain Controlled Loading

Servo Hydraulic Compression Loading Testing Machines with Stress & Strain Controlled Loading

LOAD FRAME

The load frame is steel welded fabricated. 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. The front cover is provided, made of acrylic sheet, as a protection to the operator while at the same time giving an unobstructed view of the specimen under test.

Pumping Unit

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

It has an arrangement for the automatic pacing system which is achieved by the combination of the advance hydraulic and electronic systems. The 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 pacing rate constant irrespective of any change that occurs in the specimen during the process of testing. The pacing rate is set on a strain or stress basis. All the set parameters are entered through the computer. The machine is very simple to operate. The load is automatically released after the peak value is achieved.
