High resolution extensometer
Zwick

The makroXtens is a versatile high-accuracy extensometer operating on the contact principle. Ideal for tensile, compression, flexure and cyclic tests on metals, plastics, composites and many other materials.

Advantages of the makroXtens

Standard extensometer in the metals, plastics and automotive industries, with an installed base of over 2.500 systems
Accuracy class 0.5 according to EN ISO 9513
Maximum error +/- 1µm in differential movement measurement between two measuring points in a range from 20 µm to 200 µm, completely satisfying the additional requirement to ISO 527-1 (2011)
makroXtens is calibrated from 20 µm measurement travel in Class 0.5
Can be used up to specimen break, even with high forces and brittle specimen material
Compression and flexure tests can be performed simply by changing the sensor arms
Measuring system is automatically tracked into the optimum position between the specimen grips - maximum measurement travel is always available
