Made in America, the TSFM 500 provides tension and compression testing to 500 lbf / 250 kgf / 2500 N with precision stepper motor preventing speed variation under load for excellent test repeatability. Force data is displayed by a selection of digital force gauges - basic and advanced - providing computer output and many other features.

OPTIONS INCLUDE:

• Digital Travel Display - 6'' [152 mm] travel, 0.0005 [0.01 mm] resolution with computer interface for automated data collection.
• Travel Limit Switch Kit - Set of adjustable upper and lower limit switches with solid state control, repeatable within 0.001'' [0.03 mm].
• Force Set Point Cable - Stops travel at high and low force set points; programmable at force gauge, provides overload protection.
• MESURgauge innovative force testing software provides easy set up and extremely user friendly data logging and graphing of force vs. distance.

CONSTRUCTION

• Rugged and exceptionally rigid extruded aluminum column.
• Column length of 30'' [762 mm] is standard, other lengths available.
• Manual fine adjustment knob for set-up positioning.
• Maximum vertical clearance: approx. 14'' [356 mm] depending on gauge.
• Maximum vertical travel 4.00'' [102 mm].
• Maximum horizontal clearance 4.35'' [110 mm].
• Speed range: 0.2 - 5.5 in/min [5 - 140 mm/min].

OPERATION
