MTS1 v2 New Version Hand Wheel Operated 1000N (220lbf/100kgs) Test Stand **NEW PRODUCT** - SPECIAL OFFER AVAILABLE

The recommended load force is from 5 N to 1000 N (1 - 55lbf / 1-25kgf). The maximum tension/compression loads for the gauge and test stand are 1000 N (220 lbf / 100 kgf).

The new CNC grade, ball nut-ball & screw system with a stainless steel hand wheel. This system allows for light torque hand turning effort, consistency increase or decrease of force applied, due to the precise friction-free system.

• The test stand works in both tension and compression modes.
• The maximum stroke length is approximately 6 in / 150 mm.
• Displacement for each turn is 5 mm
• A calibration certificate issued by Nextech is included with the DFS gauge.
• Includes a six-piece stainless steel accessories set (ACC-Set), plus an extra hook and extension rod.
• Gauge handles both Tension and Compression loads, with Peak Hold or Track Mode.

For detailed information on the DFS force gauge, please see the DFS Force Gauge

Remarks: The feedback when applying tension or compression can be felt due to the low friction. When testing an elastic spring material, the handwheel may turn by itself as the material returns to its original shape after you remove your hand from the handwheel. You may tighten the lock nut below the hand wheel to adjust the friction, just enough, to prevent turning.

The MTS3-DFS Set is a comprehensive solution that combines the MTS3 Test Stand with the DFS200 Force Gauge. The MTS3 is a specialized compression test stand, expertly designed for testing the hardness or breaking force of small objects such as medicine tablets, food grains, fodder, pellets, and more.

The test stand operates by turning the thumb wheel to lift the round compression plate until the test specimen breaks. The force gauge, set to peak compression mode, holds the peak or break force until this test value is saved or written down. The peak reading will continue to display until the reset button is pressed, ensuring you never miss a measurement.

The DFS force gauge provides additional features and functions to this set for your testing needs:

• Recommended load force ranges from 10 N to 200 N (1 - 20kgs / 2 lbf - 55 lbf), with a maximum compression load of 200 N (20 kgf / 55 lbf).
• Designed exclusively for compression mode testing.
• Nextech DFS200N force gauge is pre-mounted by our techs. No assembly or configuration required.
• Comes with a NIST traceable calibration certificate for assured accuracy.
• Features a four-piece set of stainless steel compression testing accessories for versatile application.
• The gauge operates in Peak Hold Compression, or tracking mode.
• Offers free PC software for data download, available from our website.
• The complete set includes a carrying case, a US-style plug 100-240V charger, USB cable, and a printed manual for your convenience.
