Electrically Operated Pump with One-Touch Operation - 1

Electrically Operated Pump with One-Touch Operation |3117-503 One-Touch Operation Instron is committed to simplifying testing equipment and making even complex tests and applications accessible to all users. Low cycle fatigue is an application which brings with it some significant challenges, one of which is achieving Class 5 alignment to ASTM E1012. When used in conjunction with our hydraulic reverse stress pull rods (3117-501) this electric micro-pump will smoothly pressurise your grips and achieve Class 5 alignment repeatedly between operators and specimens at the touch of a button. This improves user confidence and efficiency. As a modern alternative to using a hand pump and a pressure gauge this drive unit offers digital precision and simplicity. The system has an ergonomically placed digital display of gripping pressure located directly next to the system grip controls. This ensures that it is easy and convenient to accurately read the gripping pressure without the ambiguity or inconvenience of reading a dial gauge located on the side of the frame. In addition, the desired gripping pressure can be set digitally before clamping to ensure that specimen preload is achieved. Consistent Results Between Users The most significant benefit of the integrated micro-pump is the improved repeatability of pressurization and alignment between users. This powerful add-on removes the reliance on user training in how fast or slow to actuate a hand pump or in the correct way to read a dial gauge. The system is simple to use and delivers highly repeatable and smooth pressurisation to a set pressure which in turn contributes to superb alignment which any user in your lab can achieve.

Electrically Operated Pump with One-Touch Operation - 2

Pressure, Preload & Alignment In order to load a specimen in both tension and compression the specimen ends must preloaded to remove backlash in the loadstring as the specimen goes from being under tensile and into compressive load. The preload must be adjusted depending on the specimen geometry or the test forces involved. To adjust the preload, you need to change the clamping pressure. In order to achieve precise and repeatable Class 5 Alignment the clamping pressure should be applied smoothly and in a controlled and repeatable manner.

Repeatable Pressurisation & Preload Data collected from grip pressurisation to show smooth and repeatable pressurisation that results form onetouch operation with electric micro-pump. Smooth and repeatable application of pressure and specimen preload 100 Pressurisation curve demonstrates the two key phases of pressurisation. During the ramp to clamping pressure there is a smooth exponential increase in pressure and preload on the test specimen. After the initial clamping, pressure is held and has been proven to maintain pressure without loss for long term testing requirements. Flame-out Oil...
