HV Vertical Wheel Test Stand

Optional Distance Meter Available, Please Inquire
Force gauge sold separately

Standard Features

  • Hand wheel design provides precise control
  • One stand for both compression (push) and tension (pull) tests
  • Gauge remains in place when hand wheel is released
  • Optional digital distance meter

The HV series vertical wheel operated force measurement test stands feature a compact design with several ranges, up to 750 lbf capacity. The hand wheel offers precise movement that is ideal for force measurement that requires relatively consistent speed and maximum gauge control. The rack and pinion design allows the force gauge to remain stationary when the wheel is released. The HV series is very easy to use. Each rotation of the wheel will move the carriage of the test stand ~2mm.

For details on the stroke and clearance click on the specifications tab. Add a standard mounting plate at the base, to attach a variety of gripping fixtures.

The HV series test stands can accommodate any of the standard range Imada force gauges. The 750 lbf capacity stand accommodates high capacity Imada force gauges. AP-002 Adapter Plate is available to mount most other force gauges to Imada test stands.

Optional digital distance meters are available for all models:
— Standard Distance Meter add -S to the model number
— High Speed Distance Meter add -FA to model number (requires ZTA force gauge)

Long column variations are available (add -L to the model number).

Software is available to collect force and distance data from the force gauge and distance meter (force vs. distance).
