1 kN | LS1 Lloyd Instruments

The new LS1 is an affordable high precision solution for materials testing applications up to 1 kN / 225 lbf capacity which, when combined with our extensive range of grips, fixtures, extensometers and software to match your application, creates a powerful new generation materials testing system.

New features:

High Mechanical Stiffness
The machine has been designed with modern linear guide technology as well as pre-loaded ball screws and advanced software compensation systems. Combined, these new features ensure that the machine performs with the highest precision for high accuracy displacement measurement even at very slow speeds and the smallest of movements.

Wider Speed Range
Compared to other models, the new LS1 offers an impressive speed range of 0.01-2032 mm/min. This means faster testing and improved productivity

Exceptional Accuracy
The LS1 features unprecedented load accuracy. The machine uses high accuracy interchangeable XLC Series load cells. Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension limits are standard features. A load accuracy of +/- 0.5% down to 1% of loadcell value provides high dynamic range. An additional benefit is that the number of load cells required to cover the full force range may be reduced, saving the user both time in changing over different value loadcells when testing samples of different forces and also the cost of purchasing different capacity loadcells.
