ElectroForce 3500 test instrument are available in two base system configurations. The 3510 instruments, rated at 7.5 kN, is configured with the linear motor installed in the upper crosshead, making it well-suited for applications requiring a temperature-controlled bath. The 3550 instrument is rated at 15 kN and the linear motor is installed in the lower baseplate.

Key Features

• Versatility for a variety of mechanical fatigue and dynamic characterization tests
• Can perform tests over a wide frequency range
• Air-cooled, clean-room compatible and quiet operation
• Optional 49 Nm or 70 Nm torsional motor is available for multi-axial test applications.

The ElectroForce 3300 family includes two models; the ElectroForce 3310 provides 1000 N of maximum force while the ElectroForce 3330 provides 3000 N.  Both models are available with either table-top or floor-standing frames.   The floor-standing frame enables the expansion of capabilities by either adding torsion or extended stroke motors.  All configurations can perform tests that range from one cycle per day (or static tests) up to 100 Hz.  Select the force capacity and frame configuration that is appropriate for your testing needs.

Key Features

• High resolution and high accuracy displacement measurement for both the dynamic axial motor and the optional torsional motor
• Static to 100 Hz dynamic performance for a variety of applications
• Integrated System Status Indicator (SSI) Light for highly visible color-coded display of instrument status
• Electric motor driven test space adjustment with convenient locks, plus the added convenience of the lower Micro-adjust for precision alignment of grips.
• Optional 14 Nm and 25 Nm torsional motor are available for multi-axial test applications
• Optional 150 mm stroke extension motor to increase the instrument versatility for slower longer-travel tests
• Accommodates a variety of environmental chambers including temperature-controlled saline baths and hot/cold chambers

The ElectroForce® 3200 Series III test instruments feature a 225 N (450 N optional) maximum force. With the versatility of static to 300 Hz frequency response, the table-top configuration is adaptable to a variety of biomedical research and engineered materials test applications, including torsion testing, creep under dynamic loading and special environments (hot/cold chambers).

Key Features

• Compact and portable
• Monotonic to 300 Hz frequency response
• Simple test space adjustment
• Optional saline bath for testing at 37C
• Well-suited for low force testing of biomaterials and engineered materials

The DMA 3200 features patented ElectroForce linear motor technology enabling a single instrument to deliver unequalled performance and data accuracy. This unique motor technology combines powerful rare-earth magnets with a frictionless flexural suspension for the most precise force and displacement control over a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes. The DMA 3200 motor delivers a force output of up to 500 N and controlled displacements ranging from 1 micron to 13 mm. Testing can be conducted in both static and dynamic modes.

Key Features
