HIGH CAPACITY SYSTEMS Up to 5000 kN Instron high capacity systems are servohydraulic fatigue testing systems that perform high force static and dynamic tests on specimens up to 5000 kN. These machines use the same software, electronics, and interfaces as all of our general hydraulic fatigue machines, which ensures continuity and consistent experience across machines in your laboratory. Instron will also provide support from dedicated project engineers to design and manufacture high capacity machines and accessories to meet your needs. COMMON FEATURES • High-stiffness, precision aligned load frame with induction hardened chrome plated columns and actuator in upper crosshead • Designed for both dynamic and static testing on a variety of materials and components • Choice of actuator stroke, hydraulic configuration, and dynamic performance to suit the application • T-Slot base and other test space configurations available • Adjustable upper crosshead with hydraulic lifts and lock fitted as standard with optional Telescopic lift cylinders on some models • Patented Dynacell™ Advanced dynamic force rated load cell up to 2500 kN • Pressure transducers for load measurement available as an alternative for larger capacities • Compatible with a range of high capacity grips, fixtures, environmental chambers, video extensometers, protective enclosures, and other accessories OUR RANGE • 2-column 8803 system is rated at ±500 kN (±110 kip) CONTROLLER AND SOFTWARE The Instron high capacity machines are supplied with a digital 8800MT controller that provides consistent user experience across all Instron fatigue systems. The 8800MT controller features automatic loop tuning, amplitude control specimen protect, 19-bit resolution across the full range of transducers, and adaptive control technology. It also allows access to WaveMatrix™ 2 Dynamic Testing Software, Bluehill® Software for static tests, and other application specific software, such as the Low Cycle Fatig

HIGH CAPACITY FATIGUE TESTING HIGH CAPACITY FATIGUE TESTING Materials can fail prematurely if they are exposed cyclic loading for a certain period of time, even if the operating stress profile is lower than the yield stress, this is known as fatigue. It is one of the main focuses in material testing in terms of determining a product’s life cycle, and it provides insight into how the materials will fail, allowing engineers to take this information into account when designing a product. Fatigue rated testing machines are used to perform fatigue tests. They can characterize the fatigue life of different...

HIGH CAPACITY FATIGUE TESTING BENEFITS • Hydraulic actuators with hydrostatic bearings for axial alignment and sideload protection operating at 210 bar and a seal-less 280 bar actuators for high performance and high lateral stiffness, depending on your testing requirement • Hydraulic crosshead lifts and clamps, allowing easy and accurate adjustment of daylight depending on the size of fixtures and specimen • Versatile test space with a t-slot table for component tests • Same controls and software as lower capacity general fatigue machines, giving a seamless transition between different systems...
