The cost effective LD Series testing machines are excellent for testing applications such as plastic, rubber, wood, packaging, construction materials, metals and automotive parts. They can be mounted above a floor standing compression cage for large sample or complete assembly testing. The powerful LD Series testing machines from Lloyd Instruments combine high performance, ease of use and superior flexibility. These universal materials testing machines are ideal for testing applications up to 100 kN (22480 lbf) and are designed for both routine quality control testing, automated testing and for performing complex multi-stage testing. All LD Series testing machines feature an extra-large working area of 452 mm (17.8 in) and crosshead travel up to 1070 mm (42 in) extendable to 1669 mm (65.7 in). The high stiffness frame incorporates a crosshead guidance system to prevent side loading of the test sample. Interchangeable pancake load cells ensure high accuracy and optimize the test machines for tension, compression and cycling through to zero force measurements. An advanced electrical design couples an AC drive with preloaded ball screws for better displacement accuracy.
