A servo-hydraulic frame is a strong fit for high-force static testing because it can apply and control very large loads without the size and mechanical limits that typically show up in high-capacity electromechanical screw-driven systems. In the NG-SHM Series A range, the frame is offered in 300 kN to 3000 kN capacities, specifically targeting large metallic specimens and proof-style loading where an electromechanical frame may not be practical.

At high loads, frame stiffness and alignment matter as much as raw capacity. This system uses a high-stiffness multi-column structure to reduce frame deflection under load, which helps improve the quality of yield and elongation measurements in both tension and compression.

Servo-hydraulic actuation also supports stable loading behavior in heavy tensile and compression work, and the dual test-zone layout lets you run tension in the upper area and compression in the lower area without constantly removing and re-building fixtures. That is a real time-saver in QA labs running mixed test plans.
