These servohydraulic test systems deliver the performance, versatility and accuracy required to properly characterize the dynamic and static properties of an extreme range of biomedical materials and components. When combined with a wide range of grips, fixtures, and orthopaedic sub-systems, they provide capabilities from static testing to complex kinematic studies of skeletal tissues and orthopaedic constructs.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

Precise

Precision-machined connections between the actuator cylinder and end-caps offer consistent alignment

Accurate / Repeatable Results

Fatigue-rated actuators incorporated into the cross-beam provide testing reliability

Efficient Operation

Integrated T-slot table with channels to contain spilled fluids means less test interruptions

Advanced Safety Features

Restricted actuator speed as it moves into position protects specimen and operator

1. All load frame specifications listed in this chart are based upon the actuator ratings and dynamic stroke values indicated by bold text.

2. Minimum Vertical Test Space: Span between load cell and piston rod face when fully retracted at beginning of the dynamic stroke; crosshead down, no alignment fixture.

3. Maximum Vertical Test Space: Span between load cell and piston rod face when fully retracted at beginning of the dynamic stroke; crosshead up, no alignment fixture.

4. Working Height: Tabletop to top of T-slot table; includes standard FabCell isolation.

 

 

5. Diagonal Clearance: Hose height to tip of foot with FabCell; crosshead down.

 

 

6. Overall Height: From tabletop surface, including standard FabCell isolation, to top of the hoses or highest point on actuator; crosshead fully raised.

7. Measured at crosshead height of 600 mm (23.6 in).

 

 

 

8. For load frames with optional pneumatic /elastomeric vibration isolation mounts, add 37 mm (1.44 in) to dimensions B, G, and H.

9. For axial/torsional frames, add 152 mm (6 in) to dimension H, for 150 mm (6 in) stroke actuator.

 

Our Smallest, Quietest HPU

The MTS SilentFlo 515.04 was specifically designed for use with a single MTS Landmark® or Bionix® load frame. For applications requiring a force range of 1–25 kN (0.2–5.5 kip) and a maximum average flow rate of 15.1 lpm (4 gpm), this HPU provides all the benefits of proven SilentFlo technology at a fraction of the cost.
