SR-1540 with Side Mounted Load Cell and Large Pneumatic Grips

Oakland SR-1500 Series Digital Precision Universal Tester

The SR-1500 series of digital precision universal testers can be operated as stand-alone (console driven) or controlled by Oakland’s advanced MT-2500 Quality Control software. The frame can accommodate forces up to 220 Kgf/2.2 kN/500 lbf load with a maximum travel distance of 1015 mm (40 inches). The base speed range is 2.5 to 500 mm/min (0.1 to 20 in/min). High speed options include 10 to 1000 mm/min (0.4 to 40 in/min) and 25 to 2000 mm/min (1 to 80 in/min), depending on the model selected.. The oversized work-surface allows attachment of a large variety of fixtures, grips and accessories. Many tensile test fixtures can easily be installed on these robust devices. These features allow faster test speeds and larger maximum loads instead of switching to more expensive dual-screw devices. Follow the link to find out how to configure Oakland’s versatile digital universal tester for your specific test requirements.
