Long-Travel Extensometer

The long-travel extensometer is designed for tests on extensible plastics, elastomers, films/foils, textiles, leather and similar elastic materials.

It is primarily used for direct extension measurement on specimens with medium and large extensions in tensile and hysteresis tests and also in temperature chambers (using extended sensor arms). The robust mechanical design of the guide assemblies, together with the swiveling knife-edges, ensures safe, reliable operation with specimens prone to whipping such as elastomers.

Key Advantages and Features

Advantages and features

  • Can be used up to specimen break, even with high loads and brittle specimen material.
  • Very high resolution over the entire measurement range.
  • Very large measurement travel.
  • Synchronous force-displacement acquisition.
  • Very low drag-forces.
  • Can be combined with all analog or digital clip-on extensometers or with a manual transverse strain extensometer.
  • The extensometer is controlled automatically via the test program and the sensor arms are applied automatically at the start of the test. At the end of the test they are withdrawn and the initial gage-length is re-set via the traverser movement.
  • Robust construction with impact-resistant measurement system.
  • Low-friction measuring-carriage mounting minimizes transmission errors.

Key advantages and features of the zwicki long-travel exensometer

Application description

The longstroke extensometer is suitable for direct extension measurement on all elastic materials, including elastomers, plastics, leather, textiles, etc. and can be used for exact determination of offset yield and strain at break in tensile tests. Standards-compliant secant modulus or E-modulus determination with the specified initial gage length is not provided.
