Automotive

Automobiles, recreational vehicles, trucks, and all manner of motor vehicles contain countless components and assemblies that must be thoroughly tested during the design, production, and quality control phases. Force and torque measurement is an essential part of ensuring vehicle performance and safety. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers rely upon testing products.  

EXAMPLES:

►Coefficient of Friction Testing, ►Seat Belt Retraction Force, ►Switch Activation Force, ►Rotary Dial Torque, ►Fastener Torque Testing, ►Ignition Switch Torque Measurement, ►Turn Signal Stalk Activation Testing, ►Wire Terminal Crimp Pull Testing, ►Spring Testing, ►Bearing Torque Testing, ►Windshield Wiper Arm Force, ►Vibration Testing.

 

The ESM1500 and ESM 750 are highly configurable single-column force testers for tension and compression measurement applications with capacities of 1,500lbf (6.7kN) and 750lbf (3.4kN).Suitable for laboratory and production environments apart from break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. The available FollowMe® facilitates crosshead positioning for sample setup. Hand guided push/pull on the load moves the crosshead at a dynamically variable speed. The stands feature a unique modular controller function platform. Functions such as travel measurement, cycling, etc. are offered individually, accommodating a wide range of budgets and applications.Force and travel data can be output to a PC for graphic and analysis using MESUR™gauge software, or fully control the stand by PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCll communications.
