DForce

Dynamic Mechanical Tester

DForce is a low force mechanical testingsystem capable of performing static and dy-namic tests to 15 Hz in tension or compres-sion. Typical uses include determining theforce-deflection properties and fatigue life ofbiomaterials, composites, medical devices,packaging, products and more.
Test biomaterials, composites,medical devices, packaging, products and more.Continuous forces from 20N to275N (4 lbf - 60 lbf). Peak forces from 90N to 1850N(20 lbf - 400 lbf).Actuator Strokes from 25mm to 300mm (1 in - 11 in). DForce comes equipped with ADMET’sMTESTQuattro
TM PC based materials test-ing system. MTESTQuattro
TM featuresforce, position, two strain and one auxiliaryinput to satisfy a variety of testing needs. Itfeatures a fast acting microprocessor forprecise closed-loop control of ramp, cyclicand complex control profiles. All results andraw data can be exported to a database orspreadsheet program. Third party programscan also access the XY data in real-timewhich makes it possible to combine me-chanical data with data from other pieces ofequipment.DForce actuators are linear motors thatcome in three frame sizes providing continu-ous forces from 20N to 275N (4 lbf - 60 lbf)and peak forces from 90N to 1850N (20 lbf -400 lbf). Actuator strokes range from 25mmto 300mm (1 in - 11 in). An internal dry bear-ing provides clean quiet, maintenance freeperformance. Life expectancy far exceedstypical ballscrew solutions. Each system iscustom engineered to meet your testingneeds. Load frames can be configured totest in both vertical and horizontal orienta-tions. Give us a call. Our application engi-neers are ready to assist you with your par-ticular testing requirements.
