Force Displacement Testers
Force displacement testing measures how much force is required to displace or deform a specific component or material. It’s an important aspect of quality control in manufacturing as well as material science. It’s necessary to help ensure products are made to the proper standards and to verify the properties of certain materials. Imada provides a range of force displacement testers that provide precise and accurate measurements, with numerous features to help technicians complete testing as quickly and effectively as possible.
Overview of Force Displacement Testers
Our force displacement testers display both force and displacement on the force gauge screen and output to Force Recorder Professional Software at 2,000 force & displacement readings per second. Unlike standard force tester instruments, these measure force and displacement simultaneously, giving the user a clearer understanding of the relationship between both measurements. This is important for making the most informed decisions about which materials to use or the design of a part. With their digital force control and displacement tracking, these instruments are among the most important tools used for quality assurance.
Types of Force Displacement Testers
We offer manual as well as motorized force displacement testers to fit a wide range of applications and situations. The manual portable force displacement tester is easily carried and able to test up to 22 lbf. This unit is ideal when you need a cost-effective solution suited for low-volume testing to be carried out by operators. Manual force displacement testers are typically enough for the most basic testing needs.
On the other hand, the motorized desktop force displacement testers we offer have digital speed set, force control capabilities and capacities up to 1,100 lbf. The precise controls these provide make them a good fit for industries that have high-volume testing requirements or need to provide accurate reporting for compliance purposes.
Key Features and Capabilities
We’ve designed our force displacement testing instruments to include all the features needed to ensure the most accurate results and exceptional ease of use. For example, the digital speed control and force limit settings on our motorized models enable precise and repeatable testing. At the same time, the option to record force vs. time or force vs. displacement at an industry leading output rate of 2,000 data/second make it easy to share reporting for in-house QA efforts or compliance.
Industries and Applications
The precision and versatility of our force displacement testers make them essential instruments for manufacturers across a broad spectrum of industries. For example, the automotive and aerospace industries depend on them for stress and impact testing during research and development as well as quality control. In the medical device sector, our testers are used to ensure components meet various safety and performance standards. Electronics manufacturers also use these devices to test buttons, switches and touchscreens to ensure they will stand up to repeated use.
