Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine for Overhead Conductors & Cables - TT-HTTM Series
Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine for Overhead Conductors is purpose-built for testing wire, rope, chain, shackles, and cables. These horizontal test frames are designed to accommodate long specimens and meet high elongation requirements.
The frames are driven by a servo motor, spindles, and a synchronous belt, ensuring variable high-strength testing. Customizable in length, the frames can be tailored to different application needs. Additionally, the grips can be adapted for various specimen shapes, with interchangeable options available to suit evolving test needs.
The PC-based control software included with the machine is equipped with advanced data acquisition and analysis features, providing comprehensive testing insights.
Wire, Rope, Chain, Shackle, and Cable Testing: Designed specifically for testing wire, rope, chains, shackles, and cables, this series features a horizontal test opening that accommodates long specimens and meets high elongation demands. Powered by hydraulic systems for robust strength testing, the frames can be customized in length to suit various application needs, offering versatility for diverse testing requirements.
- Generous Bed Clearance: The machine's large bed clearance enables testing for a broad range of specimen types, including full-length samples, sling constructions, and high-capacity specimens.
- Adjustable Carriage: Equipped with a freely moving, roller-supported carriage, it can be easily positioned to align with the required nominal test specimen length, depending on the design.
- Versatile Design for Diverse Testing: Frames, fixtures, and strain measurement devices can be designed and manufactured to accommodate various products needing tensile tests. Low-friction seals are fitted to the piston head and cylinder ends, enhancing performance.
- Enhanced Safety Features: The machine is fully enclosed with fixed plates at the bed's base and manually operated hinged guards at the top, ensuring comprehensive safety.
- High Accuracy: Achieves loading accuracy within ±1% for larger capacities and ±0.5% for smaller ones, ensuring precise test results.
- Built-in Calibration: Features a reverse loading structure that allows load cell calibration directly within the compressive space, eliminating the need for separate hydraulic presses. This design also improves measurement accuracy by calibrating the load cell on the machine itself.
