Tensile Tester, Compression Tester
The new ESMH is a 50 lb capacity horizontal test stand designed for tension, compression, and friction testing. A smooth top surface makes this tester particularly well suited for coefficient of friction testing. Other typical applications include the testing of sealed pouches, fabrics, tubing, sutures, and many other items in virtually every industry.

The tester features integrated limit switches for repetitive testing or other tests where travel limits are required. Modular design accommodates a wide variety of test sample shapes and sizes. The ESMH uses a remote control unit, distancing the operator from the test for added safety and convenience. Use this test stand with a Mark-10 force gauge and grips to create a complete testing solution.

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