Load Frame Motorised for Research Work

This load frame gives a choice of thirty constant rates of strain from a maximum of 0.25 in./min., to 0.0000192 in./min. This can be used whenever there is a requirements of these different strain rates with a maximum load capacity of 5 tonnes. For the research work it is really invaluable. The unit consists of a cabinet which houses the gear system and motor with sturdy angle iron frame. This loading is done through the bottom of loading platan which is carried on a lead screw which advances upwards. The top load bracket which slides over two upright pillars can be positioned at any desired height and locked. It carries hexagonal screw adotptor for standard proving rings. Suitable for operation on 220 volts, 50 cycles, single phase, A.C. supply.
