The Basic Information about Tensile Test Machine You Should Know

As we all know, the tensile testing machine is also known as the universal material testing machine. It adopts mechatronics design and consists of main part, mechanical part, hydraulic system, force measuring system and so on. Its force measuring system is mainly composed of force measuring sensor, transmitter, microprocessor, load driving mechanism, computer and color inkjet printer.

How does tensile testing machine work?

The tensile testing machine is mainly composed of two parts: machinery and electrical appliances. Each part has its own role and can only achieve the desired effect by working together.

✔️Mechanical part: features and working principle

It adopts mechanical loading, the motor drives the reducer, the power transmission screw drives the middle beam to move up and down, and two clamps are installed on the middle beam and under the upper beam to realize the tensile and compression test of the specimen.

✔️Measuring section: features and working principle

It adopts computer control, high-precision load cell, high-precision AD conversion and imported photoelectric encoder, and has the characteristics of intuitive display, convenient operation and accurate data, providing field calibration and peak hold functions. 

The working principle of the tensile testing machine: the tensile testing machine is loaded to make the sensor stress to generate an electrical signal and send it to the AD converter. At the same time, the rotation of the lead screw drives the encoder to generate a pulse signal and input it to the microcomputer. After the control and adjustment, the test results are displayed on the microcomputer screen.

What are the applications of tensile testing machines?

Tensile testing machine is a mechanical force testing machine used to test mechanical properties of equipment such as static load, tension, compression, bending, shearing, tearing, peeling, etc. for various materials.

It is suitable for plastic sheets, pipes, various physical and mechanical properties testing of profiled materials, plastic films, rubber, wire and cable, steel, glass fiber and other materials is an indispensable testing equipment for material development, physical property testing, teaching research, and quality control.
