Dynamic and fatigue test system Bose ElectroForce Systems Group to 100 Hz, ± 3 kN
The ElectroForce® 3330 test instrument is well-suited for long term durability studies. It provides static to 100 Hz performance with a load envelope of ±3000 N, and versatile performance for a variety of fatigue test applications.
Applications include durability testing of orthopaedic implant devices as well as dynamic characterization of engineered materials and components.
The ElectroForce® 3330 test instrument is available as a table-top configuration or a floor-standing model. The table-top configuration can be integrated with a variety of environmental chambers and specimen fixtures to meet specific test applications. The floor-standing model provides more versatility, such as the ability to incorporate a torsional motor for multiaxial test applications. It provides 100 Hz performance with a static and dynamic load envelope of ±3000 N, and the capability to add a ±28 N-m or ±70 N-m torsion option.
SPECIAL: Dental Wear Simulator (ElectroForce 3300 Test Instrument)
Bose introduces the ElectroForce biaxial testing configuration to simulate the masticatory cycle (chewing) for the evaluation of dental biomaterials and/or restoration techniques. Thus, the effectiveness of sealants or enamel replacements can be assessed in the laboratory. This wear simulator is useful for evaluating 2 body wear and can effectively run hundreds of thousands of cycles. The wear produced by 250,000 masticatory cycles on this type of simulator corresponds to the wear measured after 1 year of clinical service (Delong, et. al. 1985; Sakaguchi, et. Al. 1986; and Krejc et. al. 1990).
