Description

The Manual Direct Drive (MDD) test stand comprises a precision leadscrew and reinforced crosshead, which together provide the stability to accurately apply tensile and compressive forces up to 1000 N (220 lbf ).

Its ergonomic hand wheel allows the operator to finely position the crosshead along any point of its 450mm travel – each rotation of the hand wheel gives the sensitivity to move by as little as 2mm.

It can be used in a vertical position or when ordering a feet kit, it can be used horizontally for added operator comfort.

Crosshead movement can be measured by fitting an optional digital height scale, thereby creating a basic tester to display load and displacement.

Choose from the range of Mecmesin digital force gauges to select the most appropriate instrument to measure the load.
