BAT 750, simple manual test stand

The BAT 750 simple manual test stand provides a solution to ensure correct positioning of the force gauge as compared with the sample tested. It can be used in tension or compression, for tests requiring forces of up to 170 lb.

The base is made up of a flat plate on which the sample to be tested is placed, and it holds two columns on which the sliding crosshead moves : the force gauge is fitted on the crosshead, which is free of play and has a travel distance of 12 inches, the crosshead is moved by hand, using a hand wheel at the top and a worm screw system, At the end of travel (lower end), the crosshead movement can be limited by an adjustable limit stop, and the test stand can be used in a vertical or horizontal position.
