Tinius Olsen has developed a bold new line of electromechanical universal testing machines, bench and floor models. The ST Series feature frames with capacities up to 300kN of force, carefully applied by advanced digital control. The bench mounted ST series replace the S series and T series of testers from Tinius Olsen, and are available in capacities of 1kN (200lbf), 5kN (1,000 lbf), 10kN (2,000lbf), 25kN (5,000lbf), and 50kN (10,000lbf).
Construction of machine frame, leadscrews, and drive system make them unique, offering excellent rigidity with negligible frame deflection. With the advanced digital control, load accuracy has been dramatically enhanced and should be better than 0.1% of the displayed reading within the operating range of 0.2% to 100% of the loadcell capacity, however system accuracy is governed by relevant ASTM and ISO standards.
