Product overviewSTEP Lab load structures are designed to accommodate a wide range of mechanical load configurations, from simple static testing to more complex endurance tests. Engineered for high rigidity, seamless integration and long service life, STEP Lab’s modular frame solutions offer the performance and flexibility needed by testing laboratories to adapt to changing testing requirements.
Standard configurations- ST05
- ST015T (Table)
- ST015F (Floor)
- ST100
NotesModular frames can be customised according to specific testing requirements and can be adapted in every aspect (frame type, crosshead, safety handles, electrical panel position, etc.).
Configuration example — ST015 – Load structureFrame type- B – Bench-type machine
- F – Floor-type machine
Crosshead regulation- M – Manual crosshead regulation (crank on top)
- L – Manual crosshead regulation (lateral crank)
- E – Electrical crosshead regulation
Electrical panel position- A – Hanging electrical panel (only for actuators with power 3A and 6A)
- F – Floor-mounted electrical panel
Crosshead locking sensors- N – No crosshead locking sensors
- Y – Crosshead with locking sensors
Safety fence handle type- B – Normal bridge handle
- L – Lighted handle
- I – Interlocked lighted handle
Safety fence handle position- R – Right-side door handle
- L – Left-side door handle
Removable back panel for rear access- F – Fixed panel
- R – Removable panel
Safety fence- N – No safety fence
- Y – With safety fence
Crosshead predisposition and size- SEA005 – For EA05, Crosshead with thickness 89 mm
- SEA050 – For EA050, Crosshead with thickness 89 mm
- LEA050 – For EA050, Crosshead with thickness 150 mm
