Tensile Tester, Compression Tester
The ESM Motorized Force Measurement Test Stand is a versatile and precise testing solution for most compression and tensile testing applications up to 200 lb. It can accept a wide variety of sample shapes and sizes and can be configured in many positions due to modular design.

Speed is adjustable in up and down directions and a remote control unit provides added safety during testing. Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing precise and repeatable. Use this test stand with any Mark-10 force gauge and grips to create a complete testing solution.

The ESM is supplied with a small hook, medium hook, 2" diameter compression plate, extension rod, and #10-32 coupler.

Optional equipment

• A wide range of force gauges and gripping fixtures
• Digital travel display
  6" [152 mm] travel, 0.0005" [0.01 mm] resolution, 0.001" [0.03 mm] accuracy, SPC output for automated data collection
• Limit switch kit
  Set of upper and lower adjustable solid state limit switches. Repeatable to within 0.001" [0.03 mm].
• Overload protection module
  Protects the force gauge against accidental overloads during motorized tests. Adjustable from 20 - 110% of gauge's capacity. Compatible with all Mark-10 force gauges with outputs.
• Set point cable
  Stops test stand travel at programmable high and low set points for tension and compression forces, programmed on a compatible force gauge.
• Column extensions
  Available in 6", 12", 24", and custom lengths
• Custom speed ranges
  Speeds can be modified to as slow as 0.02 in/min [0.5 mm/min] or as fast as 45 in/min [1143 mm/min]. Note that in some cases, the maximum force will be affected. Contact Mark-10 for complete details.
