MTS Fatigue Test Bench 350 kN

The MTS 311.21 fatigue bench is used for fatigue testing on materials and components. With this bench we can perform tensile tests and fatigue tests with forces up to 350kN. We mainly use this bench for fatigue tests on steel and composite.

The MTS 311.21 is a servohydraulic fatigue bench with an accurate force sensor. The control of the bank is programmable as desired. The force and displacement of the bench are accurately recorded.

Standard specifications are as follows:

- cylinder stroke length: 150 mm

- width between columns: 305-605 mm

- maximum test sample height: 1000 mm

- maximum test sample thickness: 67 mm

- minimum test sample thickness: 10 mm

When carrying out tests, additional measurements can be made for displacements, stresses and strains with strain gauges or Digital Image Correlation or crack behavior using microscopy, acoustic emission and other non-destructive techniques.

We mainly use this bench for fatigue tests on steel and composite. Application of other materials such as plastics, wood and fiber boards is also possible.
