The new MTS Criterion family of load frames performs accurate, repeatable monotonic testing on everything from thin-film plastics to high-strength structural steel. These high-stiffness frames are designed for years of high-speed, low-vibration performance across a broad range of force capacities.

Series 40 Electromechanical Test Systems comprise a comprehensive line of compact, affordable electromechanical test systems for low- to medium-force monotonic testing requirements. Reliable and easy to use, Series 40 systems employ high-quality MTS electromechanical drives and integrated, digital closed-loop controls to test in load and position control at force capacities ranging from 1 N to 100 kN.

Series 60 Static-Hydraulic Test Systems perform reliable tension and compression tests of high-strength specimens in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Series 60 systems employ proven MTS servo-controlled hydraulic actuation and high-resolution, digital closed loop controls to test in load, displacement or strain control at force capacities ranging from 300 kN to 1000 kN.

All MTS Criterion load frames are engineered with operator efficiency and well-being in mind — from an ergonomic design to intuitive controls and advanced safety features.
