The HC Compact is a complete testing system with an extremely small space requirement.The low noise power pack forms the base support for the test frame, which reduces the machine’s footprint to a minimum.
The HC Compact testing machine is available in two sizes.
- The HC Compact 10/25 kN is designed for fatigue tests on smaller components, down to and including biomedical tests.The machine is equipped with a T-slotted platform and the testing actuator is therefore located in the upper crosshead.
- The HC Compact 50/100 kN is adapted for a full range of accessories for tests on composites, with which both static and dynamic testing can be performed.Due to the high stiffness of the load frame and easy connection of a high-temperature furnace, this machine is also optimally suited for LCF tests.
A temperature chamber can be installed on both models without a lot of effort.
Advantages of the HC Compact 10/25 kN
- Space-saving testing system with integrated hydraulic power-pack.
- Extra-quiet low-noise power pack.
- The entire test, together with set-up and control of automatic extensometers and specimen grips, is run via the display-equipped remote control unit.
- 2column frame for dynamic tests up to 25kN with testing actuator installed in upper crosshead.
- Suitable for 10 kN and 25 kN axial actuators.
- Hydrostatic-bearing, sealless actuator for virtually frictionless and maintenance-free operation.
- Hard-chromed T-slotted platform and columns for tests in corrosive media.
- Wide range of accessories: temperature chamber, compression platens, specimen grips, flexure test kit etc.
- Optional hydraulic adjustment for easy positioning of upper crosshead.
- Safety housing for compliance with CE Machinery Directive, depending on application.
