Kappa SS - CF
The Kappa SS - CF creep testing machine is equipped with a central lead screw and is suitable for creep tests and strain-controlled creep fatigue (CF) tests requiring maximum precision in strain control. Together with the non-contact videoXtens HT/TZ extensometer, maximum flexibility and outstanding control characteristics are combined in an innovative testing machine.
Applications: creep tests, creep fatigue tests, creep fatigue interaction and relaxation tests; user-programmed load cycles
High precision gears and servo motor placed centrically in the load line, moving up and down with the moving crosshead
In comparison to standard electromechanical creep testing machines, the Kappa SS - CF creep testing machine stands out because of its excellent linearity force-deflection curve with backlash-free zero crossing
Virtually play-free drive is patent pending: special load train bearing ensures optimum alignment properties in accordance with ISO 23788 and NADCAP requirements
Load frame with single lead screw drive and precision guidance provided via 4 steel columns, giving precise axial loading and maximum durability
High-resolution force and travel measurement for optimum control properties, especially at very low test speeds
