Features and specifications
Speed & Velocity:
Ten turn variable speed control dial. Seven way speed range from 10 to 300 RPM, 10 to 450 RPM, 25 to 900 RPM, 50 to
1800 RPM, 100 to 3600 RPM, 150 to 7200 RPM and 300 to 10,800 RPM, ¡¾0.5% accuracy*. With optional adapter, speeds
as low as 0.01 are possible.
Load:
Applied through a pneumatic system. Dual range loading from 100 to 2000 lbs. And 50 to 1000 lbs. ¡¾2% accuracy*.
With low load option from 5 to 60 lbs., ¡¾2% accuracy*.
Temperature Control:
Controlled system with digital proportional indicator/controller, high temperature limit cut-off, heater cup, special
ceramic high temperature insulators and automatic temperature start-up. Temperature control from ambient to
870¡¾3¡ÆC. (1600¡¾5¡ÆF), optionally to 1093¡ÆC (2000¡ÆF). Specially designed water cooled test shaft. Optional
refrigeration system cools reservoir fluid from ambient to -30¡ÆC (-22¡ÆF) for circulation through optional cooling
chamber. When using Standard Multi-specimen adapters, temperature limit is 232 ¡ÆC (450¡ÆF).
Environments:
Wet or dry. Enclosed chamber for containing humidity or circulating special atmospheres and fluids.
Motion:
Unidirectional or optional oscillatory, both high and low speed. Low speed from 50 to 600 cycles per minute, 0¡Æ -
90¡Æ. High Speed:

Optional secondary controllable drive system, perpendicular to main test shaft for controlling speed of rollers when
testing with infinitely variable roll/slide adapter for evaluating gear system materials.
*All accuracies are percent of full scale. Other accuracies available on special quote.
Torque:
Measured by load cell with digital panel meter and digital printer. Automatic high limit torque cut-off. Field
calibration system. Optional low range for greater accuracy in measuring torque from 0 to 25 lbs-in ¡¾2% full scale
accuracy.
