Coesfeld Tear Fatigue Analyzer

Technical Specifications:

• Dynamic drives (2 stroke-controlled electric linear motors)
  • Max. force: ±3.5 kN dynamic, ±2.1 kN static
  • Stroke profiles: Sine, Gaussian, user-defined
  • Stroke: ≤ 50 mm (shorter at high test frequencies) (Tolerance: ±1 µm)
  • Test frequency: 0.1 to 100 Hz
• Force-controlled motors at each measurement position
  • Control for constant force on the specimen despite increasing strain
  • Max. force: 0.5 kN / 1 kN (5 motors/measurement positions each)
  • Stroke: ≤ 50 mm
• Creep tests Preload: 0.5 kN / 1.0 kN per measurement position; 1.6 kN across 5 measurement positions
• Crack propagation measurement using a controlled, movable infrared camera
• Clamping distance: > 3 mm
• Test modes: Cyclic crack propagation and fatigue tests, as well as static creep tests
• Temperature chamber: -50 °C to 150 °C
• To prevent fogging on the windshield, the double-glazed door can be pneumatically flushed
