TEST BEDS
174e Horizontal Plane Tensile Testing Machine
Designed specifically for proof & destruction testing of wire chains, ropes, etc., all within the scope of the machine and can be designed & manufactured to accommodate many types of products that require tensile tests.
Load Control Console
Digital monitor with 20mm high character readout
Peak freeze provision facility for capturing maximum applied load, with reset.
Range. 2 Tonne to 150 Tonne x .0l resolutions (single scale).
Load control is achieved by rotating a precise 10 revolution 40mm dia potentiometer.
Which in turn gives from zero to 10 volt supply to a proportional valve ie zero volts = zero load 10volt = 150 tonne
For repeat loads leave potentiometer at setting, of first set up
Ram direction is controlled via push buttons i.e. 'Test', 'Neutral', and 'Return'.
PUMP START push button, and STOP button.

Main frame compressing of steel section side frames cross braced and featuring location points for moving carriage at incremental positions along the bed.
The machine is supplied with the group anchor fixing holes incorporated for 'Thro-bolts', which are recommended in order to prevent 'tramping'.
An adjustable carriage is provided supported on free moving rollers for easy placement of the carriage appropriate to the nominal test specimen length.
Machine is fully guarded by fixed plates at base of bed and manually operated, hinged guards at top of bed section.
