The Servo-Hydraulic Universal Testing Machine – 100 kN is a versatile universal testing machine designed and developed with the testing of pavement construction materials in mind.
Accurate waveforms are digitally generated by our next generation cDAC controller and applied by the actuator, producing repeatable conditions that are simulative of those created by moving or static vehicles. The actuator is double acting allowing both compressive and tensile forces to be applied to the specimen. Various systems are available for the measurement of the modulus of unbound materials. The optional programmable temperature controlled cabinet (TCC) provides the possibility to perform frequency/ temperature sweeps.
- Hydraulically adjustable crosshead and crosshead clamping (Moving Head version only)
- Double rod, equal area, fatigue rated actuator
- Direct coupled Star Hydraulics servo-valve with ‘Sapphire Technology’
- Direct coupled hydraulic safety block
- Axially mounted LVDT integral to the actuator
- Controlled with our next generation cDAC controller and flagship Dimension software (ask for detailed datasheet)
- Optional TCC is fully removable to allow increased daylight for testing large temperature independent specimens
- Optional TCC setpoint can be controlled directly from our Dimension software allowing the temperature to be varied throughout the test
- Issued with UKAS accredited certificate of calibration for EN 12697-24; EN 12697-25, EN 12697-26
Control System and Software
This machine can be controlled using our Standard Acquisition and Control System along with Universal Software™. Universal Software™ is user friendly, intuitive and reliable Windows® software developed using LabVIEW™. Universal test software for the development of test methods using static, sinusoidal, haversine, square, triangular with user selected frequencies and data collection rates. Stored test data can be imported into a spreadsheet package to be analyzed by the user. Utilities are included for transducer check, diagnostic routines and calibration.
Alternatively, our next generation digital data acquisition and control unit cDAC™ Advanced Data Acquisition System brought together in alliance with our flagship software DIMENSION™ gives you the power to perform the most demanding of tests with your materials testing equipment.
cDAC™, our next generation class leading digital controller is unparalleled in its field and suitable for advanced testing required for research.
