Test Stands - Manual

LV-220
Manual Lever Test Stand

LV-220S with distance meter (pictured at right)

• Standard Compression and Tension models both operate with a single downward lever stroke
• Maximum load 220 lbs (100 kg)
• Stroke 4"
• Maximum clearance 5" (or 10" with optional extender plate)

The LV-220 test stands will accept any of the standard capacity Imada force gauges while providing a convenient, reliable, and easy to use means of performing consistent force measurements. The LV-220S model is equipped with a digital distance meter. The standard compression model can be converted to tension, and the unique modular design of this stand allows the force gauge mounting plate to be located on either the front of the stand or on the back for virtually unlimited clearance. The optional extender plate will double the front clearance.

SV-05S
Micro-Movement Test Stand with Distance Meter

• One stand does both compression (push) and tension (pull) tests
• Reduced backlash and fine movement for highly precise measurements
• Stroke 2.75" (travel distance per knob rotation 0.9”/22.5mm)
• Maximum Load 4.4 lbs (2 kg)

The SV-05S Micro-Movement Test Stand is designed for small deflection measurements such as membrane switches and other small micro switches. The minimal backlash is ideal for bi-directional testing where both the compression and tension measurements are made during the same test. The standard model SV-05S includes a highly accurate digital distance meter. Both models accept any Imada force gauge with a maximum capacity of 4.4 lbs (2 kg).

SV-2
Precision Wheel Test Stand

SV-2 without distance meter (pictured at left)
SV-2S with distance meter (pictured at right)

• One stand for both tension (pull) and compression (push) measurements
• Generous work area can accommodate a wide variety of samples
• Hand wheel operation provides relatively consistent speed from test to test
• Suitable for precise tests where a higher degree of fine control is required
• Force gauge remains in position when hand wheel is released. Ideal for “creep” testing rubber and other elastic materials
• Maximum load 220 lbs (100 kg)
• Stroke 2" at each fixed position
• Maximum clearance is fully adjustable from 0 to 11"

The SV-2/S Precision Wheel operated Test Stand is a highly precise and versatile fixture for your force gauge. It is designed to give you consistent conditions for repeatable results yet it is rugged enough to withstand real world environments. The easy to operate hand wheel design allows you to position the gauge, hold it in place, or advance it at a constant speed. The force gauge will remain in place once the hand wheel is released, making it ideal for “creep” testing rubber or other elastic materials. The direction that the hand wheel is turned determines the direction the gauge moves in, so the stand is set up to do both compression and tension testing without any conversions. The large platform base will accept the special attachments required to do your force measurements. The SV-2/S stand accepts any of the standard range Imada force gauges.

SH-220
Horizontal Hand Wheel Test Stand

• Horizontal design is ideal for peel testing and other applications
• Hand wheel provides relatively consistent speed for repeatable tests
• Gauge remains in place when hand wheel is released
• One stand for both compression (push) and tension (pull) tests
• Continuous stroke 7.5"
• Maximum Load 220 lbs (100 kg)

For doing peel tests and other force measurements where a horizontal test stand is required, the SH-220 Manual Horizontal Hand Wheel Test Stand is an ideal choice. With all of the advantages of the hand wheel design (relatively consistent speed, precise gauge positioning, bi-directional movement) in a low-profile horizontal package, the SH-220 accepts any of the standard range Imada force gauges and special attachments.

SV-300/500
High Capacity Precision Hand Wheel Test Stand

SV-300 (capacity 300 lbs)
SV-500 (capacity 500 lbs)

• Hand wheel design provides a high degree of precise control
• One stand for both compression (push) and tension (pull) tests
• Gauge remains in place when hand wheel is released
• Stroke 15"

Models SV-300/500 have greater clearance to accommodate oversize materials and a long stroke to test materials that require a greater range of movement. SV-300/500 are precise push/pull test stands that are ideal for force applications requiring relatively consistent speed and maximum gauge control. The force gauge remains in position when the wheel is released which allows the user to easily change samples between tests. The hand wheel operation will provide repeatable test results from sample to sample. The SV-300/500 will accommodate any of the standard range Imada force gauges.
