At Mark-10, we
offer a range of force and torque measurement test stands to suit a variety of
applications, including manual and motorized options.
Our
manual test stands allow users to reduce variability inherent in hand testing
by properly aligning a force gauge and grips or fixtures. Manual test
stands are an ideal option for budget-minded applications that require a bit
more consistency than hand operated tension or compression force measurements.
For the most
consistency between tests, a motorized test stand’s programmable speed is an
ideal solution. Such stands can also be fitted with an internal scale for
displacement measurement, be controlled by a PC, and perform a number of
automated functions, thereby increasing testing efficiency and throughput. Our
motorized stands can perform a wide range of compression and tension test
applications. When fitted with an appropriate force gauge, output of force vs.
time or force vs. distance via USB is possible.
Manual and motorized
test stands are available in several force ranges up to 1,500 lbF (6.7 kN). We
supply an extensive selection of grips and fixtures, serving the medical
device, automotive, packaging, and many other industries. To learn more about
each of our manual and motorized test stands use our test stand comparison chart to
find the one that works best for your applications.
