United Testing Systems offers a complete line of Universal Testing
Machines, equipment
and accessories for tensile and hardness testing.
All United Universal Mechanical Testing Machines have a number of
standard features developed to give the user the most accurate and
efficient results:
- Twin ball screw drive w/solid-state servo and motor controls.
Single ball screw drive for capacities less than 1,000 Lbf.
- Crosshead guidance system ( maximum lateral motion 0.010" over
full crosshead travel).
- Anti-backlash system.
- "Emergency Stop" control via rocker switch, computer or
mechanical limit switches.
- Interchangeable, electronic load cell weighing system.
- USB-connectivity for computerized machines assures data integrity
and supported high data transfer rate.
- Quick-disconnect load cell and fixture system.
An affordable, ultra-accurate, single-column materials table-top
testing machine for those low capacity testing needs. Ideal for use in
most testing situations including test labs, R&D applications,
quality control and production testing.
The SSTM-2.5KN
is designed to perform a variety of test routines
including tension, compression, flex, shear and peel with user-friendly
Windows®-based software. This system is able to test the strength of
materials in accordance with most industry standards including ASTM,
BS, DIN, ISO and JIS.

Data Acquisition and Control
The SSTM-2.5KN incorporates a PC-compatible computer for data
acquisition and machine control functions. The machine includes the
following features:
- USB connectivity for high speed data acquisition and control.
- Preload, Test, Stop, and Return operations initiated with one
keystroke.
- Preload Force, Test Speed and Return Speed may be preset.
- JOG controls allow fast and accurate crosshead setup.
- Automatic Stop or Return following sample break.
- Graphic display in real time – Load or Stress vs. Extension.
- Load measurement accuracy: ±0.5% of reading from 1% to 100% of
rated capacity.
- Extension from crosshead: resolution = 0.12 micron/jaw
separation. Accuracy = ±83 microns/meter of travel.
- Extension from extensometers: resolution = 1/262144 of full
range. Accuracy per extensometer specifications.
- Standard system supports one load and one extensometer input
channel. Additional channels are optional. Resolution: 20 bits binary.
DSP filter standard. Conversion rate: programmable.
- Operator-selectable measurement units: English, Metric, SI or
mixed.
- Operator may set any test speed within the capacityof the machine
by keyboard entry.
- Limits programmable-position, load or strain.
- Cycle functions programmable-position, load or strain control.
- Area compensation can be turned on or off.
- Digital servo control system – optical encoder, digital signal
processor, solid-state amplifier.
- Manufactured in the USA
