The HM-5750 and HM-5750M Direct Shear machines are an economical choice for performing direct/residual shear tests utilizing the dead-weight method with load rings and dial gauges. These models include the carriage, stand, vertical load hanger and a balanced lever loading arm with a 10:1 ratio that reduces the weight required to perform tests. The micro-processor-based system features a stepper motor drive system and 7" touch-screen display.
The carriage accepts shear box squares up to 4.0" (100mm) internal dimension. Forward and reverse measurements permit residual shear testing as standard. A built-in safety feature prevents the over travel of the load measuring system.
The HM-5750 and HM-5750M are supplied complete with a 2,000 lbf (10kN) capacity load ring, 1.0" x 0.001" (25.4 x 0.01mm) and 0.5" x 0.0001" (12 x 0.002mm) dial indicator. Shear box assemblies and related accessories are not included and should be ordered separately.
