Compression test machine C125

for materialsmechanicalcompact

"Compact" series compression machine 2000 kN (Cubes-cylinders) The machine is suitable to effectuate compression tests on: • Cylindrical test pieces with diameter of 150 mm and height of 300 mm • Cylindrical test pieces with diameter of 160 mm and height of 320 mm • Cubic test pieces with side of 150 and 200 mm The frame is assembled without welding through a feather edge and afixing system, purposely studied and designed to guarantee exceptionallife and stability in time. The housing of the load piston has beenobtained in the lower element of the press. The extremely reduceddimensions of the machine allow an optimal use of the available spacein carriage and storing conditions, by significantly improving the globaleconomisation. The compression plates of all these machines arehardened and ground. The hydraulic cylinder and the piston are madeof special steel and are ground; a stroke end device avoids the issue ofthe piston from the cylinder. Considered the high pressures that comeinto play during the compression test, a particular sealing ring thatallows to minimize the frictions has been adopted and placed in a slotof the cylinder.The oil-hydraulic unit is moved by an electrical motor with anincorporated switch and a pump that allows to apply the load evenlyand constantly is placed in it. A device allows a quick approach of theplates to the specimen, with the automatic passage to the testingpressure in the moment of contact between the plates and thespecimen.
