Tensile and Compression Test Benches

Tensile and Compression test Benches

In the field of research and innovation, evaluating mechanical strength to ensure the quality and durability of products is crucial. This is where the tensile and compression test benches come into play, proving to be indispensable equipment. Designed to assess the strength of your materials or finished products against tensile and compression forces, these benches are tailored to your specific needs, whether in terms of product constraints or test process requirements. This flexibility ensures precise and adaptable control, essential for effectively testing a wide range of products.

The Tensile and Compression Test Bench : A Pillar for the Industry

In an industrial world where performance and reliability are paramount, LF Technologies offers specific test benches, incorporating tensile/compression features dedicated to customer applications. These precise tools are indispensable for measuring material toughness against stresses, thus ensuring that each product surpasses the most demanding quality and safety standards.

Why use a custom tensile/compression test bench ?

Standard tensile/compression machines are primarily designed to characterize materials. Hence, they are intended for tensile/compression tests on standardized specimens.
However, to perform a force test on a product or component other than a specimen, a custom machine may be necessary: this is what LF Technologies offers.

These machines can come in a multitude of forms, adapted to each situation.

Varieties of Test Benches and Their Uses

To adapt to your application, LF Technologies incorporates various types of technologies on tensile compression test benches:

• Drive technology: Movements by hydraulic cylinders for heavy loads or by electric servo-motor for high precision control.
• Guidance technologies: We offer single-column machines for better ergonomic access or multi-column machines for high rigidity. Our machines can also be equipped with additional guidances at the sensor ends to cancel out transverse forces, especially in compression.
• Control technologies: The control of tensile compression machines is adapted to the type of test to be performed: “quasi-static tensile” test (for conventional low-speed tests), force control, creep test (force control over a very long duration), low-frequency fatigue tests.

LF Technologies can create benches for each type of test, or even hybrid machines, combining several types of controls.

Cross-Country Applications of the Test Bench

The custom-developed tensile/compression test benches can cater to a wide variety of applications across all industrial sectors, for example:

• Aerospace: Compression bench allowing the application of a controlled load on an aircraft’s fuselage, in static or inertial shock test.
• Automotive: Tensile tests on polymer bodywork parts, machine adapted to large part dimensions and a wide variety of rigidities.
• Research: Ultra-compact tensile/compression machine allowing the machine’s integration into a small test chamber
• Textile: Multi-axis tensile bench to study the multi-directional deformation of a fabric, with 5 axes of tension
• Sports equipment: Hybrid bench for studying the behavior of parts in quasi-static tensile-compression and their lifespan in fatigue

At LF Technologies, we offer customized solutions that meet the diverse needs of our clients, reflecting our commitment to innovation and excellence.
