Description

Description

Structural Design

  • Constructed with heavy-duty steel for long-term performance.

  • Four rigid vertical pillars connect the base and upper head for maximum strength.

  • Ball-seated upper platen ensures perfect self-alignment during loading.

  • Rectangular lower platen mounted directly above the hydraulic ram.

  • Side-mounted head screws allow height adjustment for different specimen sizes.


Dual Operation Mode

  • Manual Mode: Hand-operated pump for controlled, step-by-step loading.

  • Motorized Mode: Electric motor-driven hydraulic pump for faster, consistent loading.

  • Right-hand console houses motor, pump, and hydraulic system.

  • Fast/Slow rate regulator ensures safe, precise load application.


Load Measurement

  • Equipped with a 20 cm diameter analog hydraulic gauge with max load pointer.

  • Connected via a steel-braided hydraulic hose for pressure stability.

  • Optional Digital Load Indicator with pressure transducer for electronic measurement.

  • Up to three gauges can be fitted as per requirement.
