TestBench & Planar Biaxial Test Instruments
TA TestBench instruments are known for industry-leading performance and durability in a modular and user-configurable platform. These instruments enable unique and user-adjustable configurations for a wide variety of tests. TestBench configurations were designed with component testing in mind, and thanks to their modular approach, a wide array of configurations and performance capabilities are possible.
ElectroForce TestBench configurations were designed with component testing in mind, and thanks to their modular approach, a wide array of configurations and performance capabilities are possible. These instruments can be configured with 200N, 400N, or 3kN ElectroForce linear motors mounted on a horizontal baseplate and include multi-channel and multi-axis options.
Reaction brackets are pre-designed to allow attachment of components or the test specimen to the mounting baseplate. In addition, a saline bath can be provided as an environmental option. By selecting the proper baseplate and ElectroForce® motor packages, a variety of testing needs can be addressed. Choose parameters for your test protocol without compromising accuracy, including force, displacement, frequency, and wave shape (loading profile)
The ElectroForce Planar Biaxial TestBench instrument offers superior control and unparalleled performance in material and soft tissue characterization. Using this instrument, you can assess mechanical anisotropy and stress-strain relationships in samples that range from engineered devices, including wearable sensors and wound repair meshes, to tissues such as skin, pericardium, and heart valve leaflets. This instrument can be configured with either two or four ElectroForce linear motors mounted on a horizontal baseplate and load cell options for each axis of loading.
Key features include:
- Precisely characterize different materials by controlling specific experimental parameters, including load, displacement, and strain control (with the Digital Video Extensometer (DVE)) and ability to tailor for specific research needs
- Optional configurations for horizontal or vertical mounting, accessories such as saline baths, and multi-axis loading, including additional ElectroForce linear motors, extended stroke actuators, and rotary motors
