Lloyd Instruments has launched the LS5 Single Column testing machine for high precision universal materials measurement.
The machine is based on the same mechanical design principles introduced on the LS1 instrument and is capable of testing forces of up to 5 kN/1124 lbf.
Features include linear guide technology, pre-loaded ball screws and advanced software compensation for displacement precision.
It also features a wide speed range (0.01-1016 mm/min (0.0004-40 in/min)), good load accuracy (±0.5% down to 1% of load cell value) and a choice of 8 YLC Series load cells with different load ratings and resolutions.
The LS5 is capable of performing tests such as including tensile, compression, flexural, friction, insertion/extraction, peeling, tearing and creep/relaxation, meeting or exceeding national and international material test standards.
Applications range from medical devices, plastics and packaging to textiles, rubber and electronics.
