Designed to perform fatigue and static tests for biomaterials, such as hard and soft tissues, bone, bone joints and tendons, and orthopaedic implants
Instron, a provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, announces its 8870 series servohydraulic testing systems.
The 8870 series is designed to perform fatigue and static tests for biomaterials, such as hard and soft tissues, bone, bone joints and tendons, and orthopedics implants.
The 8870 series is uniquely constructed to perform testing within fluid environments used to simulate the body's physiological condition.
The adjustable crosshead, actuator mounted load-cell, and T-slot base with unique drain channel are specifically designed for testing specimens immersed in fluids.
Key components of the 8870 are nickel plated to prevent corrosion.
The 8870 series utilises Instron's FastTrack 8800 controller, which provides the accurate control needed for complex biomedical testing.
The system can be controlled from an operator panel or from the FastTrack console, Instron's software-based, control application.
To ensure accurate, repeatable test results, the 8870 series features Instron's patented Dynacell.
This innovative load-cell prevents inertial load errors, because it is equipped with an accelerometer designed to measure and compensate for load-cell/grip inertia.
Instron's 8870 series is available in axial models with load capacities ranging from 5kN to 25kN, and axial-torsion models with axial capacities up to 25kN, and torsional capacities up to 227Nm.
