BATDRIVE

The BATDRIVE basic motorized test stand is a force gauge support designed to test samples at a regular speed; it is especially well suited for small parts, and for tests requiring low force levels (less than 500 N).

The base is made up of a flat plate receiving the sample to be tested, and on which the column holding the mobile crosshead is fixed. The force gauge fitted on the crosshead, and it has a travel of 200 mm. The adjustable mechanical limit stops block the travel to suit the test requirements.

The control console can be used to start the test, control fast upward and downward movement, and set the test parameters:
- speed setting between 10 and 200 mm/min, upwards and downwards,
- reversal or stopping of movement when the crosshead reaches the limit stops.

The speed and displacement values are shown on the console display at all times.
