The perfect testing machine for fatigue tests under temperature

Standard versions of the HA series fatigue testing machines in the 50 to 500 kN range have the testing actuator mounted in the lower crosshead, below the test area. They are ideal for test arrangements that require temperature chambers or furnaces to be installed in the test area. The positioning of the actuator prevents heated air from rising and causing heating of the actuator; it also prevents oil from dripping into the heated test area.

The HA load frames can, for example, be used for LCF (low cycle fatigue) tests or high cycle fatigue tests.

The HA fatigue testing machine's test frame features extremely high stiffness, resulting in natural resonance. Extremely accurate alignment of load frames avoids unwanted flexural stresses in the specimen

Hydraulic power packs

The HP series power packs feature high operational reliability and long service life. All components are mounted on top of the oil tank for easy access.

The self-priming radial-piston pump is driven by an asynchronous motor. The nine pistons are in hydrostatically balanced contact with the stroke ring. Flow rate is regulated by the stroke-ring eccentricity, which is adjusted via two control pistons located opposite each other. The pressurized oil is routed via a high-pressure filter and is then available to the appliance.A factory-set pressure relief valve prevents excessive increases in pressure.

Testing actuator LH2500

servohydraulic actuator

ZwickRoell's servohydraulic testing actuators feature sturdy, robust construction and are used both in servohydraulic testing machines and as single testing actuators, for example on a clamping plate. When used in conjunction with a servo valve they enable complex loading sequences to be implemented with great accuracy.

Distribution unit

Hydraulic connection unit

The hydraulic distribution unit is the electrically operated switching device in servohydraulic testing machines. It connects or disconnects the hydraulic pressure for a servohydraulic testing actuator or servohydraulic testing machine.A connecting valve is allocated to each consumer, allowing them to be switched independently of each other. The modular design enables addition of an extra switching manifold whenever required.

Common fatigue tests

Materials and components may fail prematurely under oscillating loads. For this reason, the behavior of materials under alternating mechanical loading is an important decision criterion, for which the necessary data are obtained through testing.

There are two categories of fatigue in materials testing:

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) test
ISO 12106, ASTM E606
to Low cycle fatigue (LCF) test
High Cycle Fatigue Test / S-N Test
DIN 50100
to High Cycle Fatigue Test / S-N Test
