Pendulum Impact Testing Machines: Model PH

• PH 25 to 50 joules.
• PH 150 to 450 joules.

• Versatile unit with easy changeable energy range with 150 or 300 Joule hammer or add-on weights for 450 Joule
• Safety lock to hold the pendulum in its raised position
• Vibration free release of pendulum
• Easy sample mounting by pliers or by automatic sample centering
• Electric break that stops the pendulum on its highest position on the return swing for most productive testing
• Motorized pendulum return to the latched starting position
• 4-digit digital display for direct absorbed energy reading
• Step-less adjustable energy/velocity allows Charpy, Izod or Impact Tensile Tests to be performed from 20%-100% of energy ange and impact velocity from 2.6 m/s to 5.5 m/s
• Save two-hand or automatic pendulum release when the door is closed for low temperature tests (<5 sec)
• Easy exchangeable strikers (EN or ASTM) and anvils
• Low friction bearings for maximum accuracy
• Interface to PC to run w+b Impact Software for custom configuring, calculation, statistical evaluation, reporting and exporting of tests and results
• Extendable with instrumentation package with strain gauged striker, optional deformation measurement, ultra-high speed data acquisition system and data analysis software. The laser opto-electronic-measuring-system for deflection (bending) and crack opening measurement for the experimental determination of the intensity of stress, KID/KIC-factor can also be attached.

We can also supply:

• Broaching machines.
• Cooling chambers.
• Sample preconditioning chamers.

• Drop Weight Impact Testers
• Laboratory grade instrumentation and very rigid construction for highest accuracy test results.
• Guided mass system to ensure that the impact geometry is correct throughout the test.
• Highly accurate and repeatable drop parameters.
• Very robust construction stands up to the rigours of dynamic testing to provide high reliability with a minimum of downtime.
• Easily interchangeable contact parts simplify maintenance and reduce cost of ownership.
