The TA Instruments series of ElectroForce instruments are extremely versatile and are equipped to execute stationary and dynamic mechanical tests with great accuracy and consistency. Most instruments can be outfitted to perform linear Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), including adding thermal analysis on certain models (sometimes referred to as DMTA).
As well as this, DMA analysis and QA testing of viscoelastic materials can be performed by several TA ElectroForce® test instruments. These materials include elastomers, polymers, composites and tissues.
ElectroForce instruments are well suited to the dynamic nature of DMA tests due to their wide frequency and loading ranges. Furthermore, with a small footprint and low noise, clean and robust operation enables their use in almost any environment, from processing floor to clean room to tissue culture incubator.
The following ElectroForce instruments can be configured for Dynamic Mechanical Analysis including Temperature Analysis.
