TA Instruments, New Castle, Del., announces that the ElectroForce 3310, the newest addition to the TA Instruments ElectroForce load frame family, delivers 1 kN of force capacity with 25 mm of dynamic displacement.
Utilizing its patented, friction-free, electromagnetic linear motor, the 3310 provides the controllability needed to run a wide range of material characterization and fatigue testing protocols. Capable of running cyclic tests to 1000 N, the ElectroForce 3310’s controllability extends to much lower forces, controlling applied force to less than 1 N. The 3310 also utilizes its High Accuracy Displacement sensor , which provides a calibrated displacement accuracy of ±5 microns and a resolution of one nanometer.
Expanding the performance envelope of the 3310, the test instrument can also be integrated with a torsion actuator, which provides simultaneous axial-torsion loading. Alternatively, for static tests that require displacements that exceed 25mm, the 3310 can incorporate an extended stroke capability. In addition, environmental chambers such as saline baths or hot/cold chambers, can be used in conjunction with the 3310 to perform testing under a variety of test conditions.
At the heart of every ElectroForce test instrument is a patented, friction-free electromagnetic actuator that results in a durable test instrument that can perform tests for billions and billions of cycles and includes the industry’s only ten-year motor warranty.The 3310 is suitable for testing a range of materials or components, including elastomers, composites, biomaterials, and medical devices.
