The MTS Criterion C45.126 test system provides higher-force testing capabilities in a quiet, energy-efficient solution. With twice the maximum force capacity of our next largest Criterion electromechanical test system, this frame offers greater testing capacity without the additional costs of a static-hydraulic test system. It also delivers precise displacement and strain control for more accurate material characterization. Compared to a static-hydraulic test system, the new Criterion C45.126 is:
More Accurate
A controller with a data acquisition rate of up to 5000 Hz allows for more precise measurement during testing, and an update rate of 5000 Hz provides better measurement control, especially for stiff specimens.
More Energy-Efficient
Without hydraulic power or infrastructure, these frames save energy costs. Also, these systems consume less energy because the motor runs only when moving, as opposed to a hydraulic pump that runs continuously.
Easy & Quiet to Operate
The Criterion C45.126 is easy to operate and maintain. No hydraulic fluid, pumps or seals means no leaks and less noise, providing a cleaner, quieter lab environment. And lower operation and maintenance costs result in a lower total cost of ownership.
