Universal Testing Machines (UTMs), Servo-hydraulic, equipped with high performances environmental chambers and extensive suite of accessories offer the greatest flexibility to perform all advanced pavement materials tests, ideal for Research purposes, featuring higher loads from 30 to 250 kN, lower temperatures -25°C, -50°C.

Main Features:

High performance servo valve allows sinusoidal loading frequencies up to 100 Hz

Motorized crosshead positioning

Hydraulic crosshead clamping

Fully customizable to suit a large range of testing applications

Rigid two column load frame

Precision engineered for high stiffness and alignment

Standard tie-rod sealed actuator

Provides improved alignment regarding concentricity and axiality

Quick and easy adjustment of the test space without the need for extension rods

Modular design for easy support and upgrade

Supplied complete with high quality pre-filtered oil for longer life

Available with double acting, through-rod high precision labyrinth bearing actuator providing superior performance

Advantages of the Labyrinth bearing actuator:

Excellent through zero waveform fidelity, i.e. for tests such as uniaxial fatigue

Longer life compared to standard tie-rod cylinders

Improved side load resistance for tests such as Two-Point Bend

Lower oil flow and therefore lower power consumption compared to seal less cylinders

Wave shape fidelity guaranteed even at highest frequencies.
