Description
The testing instrument DMA 503 Eplexor® up to ±500 N enables the dynamic mechanical (or static) characterization of a wide range of different materials including elastomers and polymers, composites, metals, glasses, ceramics, biomaterials, foods, adhesives, and liquids.
The modular design of the high-force DMA systems allows for measurements in the tension, compression, bending, and shearing modes. The testing machines in this series differ from each other mainly in terms of their maximum dynamic force ranges of ±100 N, ±150, N, and ±500 N.
Various add-on options make these testing machines a safe investment for the long term.
- Flexible and set for the future
... using a variety of forces and strain sensors as well as furnaces which allow for easy upgrades to the basic system at any time after the first installation.
- High force levels
...allowing for static loads up to 1500 N and dynamic loads up to ± 500 N; significant for investigations on curable resins, elastomers, composites, metals, glasses, or ceramics.
- Two independent drives
...featuring a servo motor for static and a shaker for dynamic loads.
- Interchangeable force sensors
...which can be easily changed out by the operator; nominal loads available ranging from ±10 N to ±2500 N.
- 24/7 operation via the Automatic Sample Changer
...for tension, compression, and bending samples across the entire temperature range around the clock.
- Optimized for temperature sweeps on large samples
...thanks to uniform heating of even large samples with low thermal conductivity (e.g., large rubber specimens).
- Highly economic LN2 cooling
...for low liquid nitrogen consumption.
Accessories
- Sample holders for a variety of applications
...from liquids via reinforced thermosets to metals and ceramics - all materials can be investigated with the DMA 503 Eplexor®.
- Humidity Generator (HYGROMATOR®)
...add-on investigates the water uptake of samples such as plastics and biopolymers. With the humidity generator, it is possible to create relative humidity values of between 5% and 95% in the temperature range between 5°C and 95°C.
- Immersion Bath
...even for measurements in the tension, compression, and bending mode; for the investigation of aging or plasticizer effects caused by contact with water or oil.
- Cooling options
...two different cooling systems are available including liquid nitrogen cooling to -160°C and air chiller to -60°C to use with the standard furnace.
