Electromechanical (EM) load frame extension rod kits enhance your testing capabilities within environmental chambers. The rods are designed to apply tension and compression in an environmental chamber from temperatures of -130°C (-200°F) to 315°C (600°F).
Tight tolerances ensure angular and concentric alignment is retained.
Durable
Stainless steel construction minimizes heat transfer.
Easy Setup
Modular components reduces test setup time.
Versatile
Highly configurable to test various size specimens.
Technical Overview
Electromechanical (EM) load frame extension rod kits enhance your testing capabilities within environmental chambers. The rods are designed to apply tension and compression in an environmental chamber from temperatures of -130°C (-200°F) to 315°C (600°F). The Type C and Type D kits consist of five different extension lengths. These five different lengths can be configured into 23 different combination lengths. This configurability allows users to test low and high profile accessories or short and tall specimens. Compression platens are usually low profile and will need more extension lengths. Pneumatic grips take up more space and will require fewer lengths.
A load frame rod extension kit maximizes the internal test space of the environmental chamber for grips and fixtures. The upper extension rod can be adjusted in 25 mm increments. By combining the five different lengths, 23 combination heights are ultimately available providing pin-to-pin dimensions ranging from 100 mm (3.9 in) to 825 mm (32.4 in).
The Type D extension kit is compatible with MTS and Instron® clevis pin couplings. It is designed for tension or compression loads from 2 kN to 150 kN. All extension lengths are stainless steel and have ports for water cooling.
