The NG-EML Series H is a line of horizontal universal testing machines designed for tensile, proof load, elongation, and breaking force testing of long or difficult-to-handle specimens. The horizontal frame provides the test length and loading access required for wire ropes, cables, chains, rebar, slings, fasteners, structural components, and other full-length metal and industrial components.
Each system is configured around the customer’s application instead of being supplied as a fixed machine. Force capacity, test bed length, crosshead or cylinder stroke, test width, grips, fixtures, guarding, control system, and reporting workflow can be adapted to the specimen geometry, required test method, and facility layout. The series includes electromechanical screw-driven configurations for lower-force long specimens and hydraulic configurations for high-force industrial tensile and breaking load testing.
The NG-EML Series H is suitable for laboratories and production environments that need controlled horizontal loading, repeatable force and displacement measurement, guarded test area operation, and application-specific fixture design. Typical applications include tensile strength determination, proof load testing, breaking force testing, elongation measurement, batch quality control, and certification support for long specimens and assembled components.

The NG-EML Series H is used for horizontal tensile, proof load, elongation, and breaking force testing of long specimens and assembled components. Typical applications include wire rope, cable, chain, rebar, slings, fasteners, and structural products that require extended test length, high-force loading, or application-specific fixtures.
For tensile strength, elongation, and breaking force testing of wire rope, steel strand, fiber rope, nylon rope, cable assemblies, and lifting slings. These applications often require long test space, secure gripping, and protective guarding during specimen failure.
For proof load and tensile testing of anchor chains, hooks, shackles, lifting connectors, fasteners, and related hardware. Custom fixtures can be configured around the specimen shape, loading direction, and required test method.
For testing rebar, stranded wire, long rods, structural bars, building components, and other full-length metal products. The horizontal frame provides the required specimen length and loading access when vertical test frames are not practical.
For production quality control, batch acceptance, certification support, and research testing. Common measurements include tensile strength, proof load, elongation, displacement, breaking force, and deformation behavior under controlled loading.
The NG-EML Series H can be configured to support tensile, proof load, breaking force, and force-verification workflows in accordance with selected ASTM, ISO, EN, and other recognized test standards. Applicable methods depend on the specimen type, force capacity, grips, extensometer setup, calibration requirements, and reporting procedure.
Commonly supported standards include:
A horizontal universal testing machine is used when specimen length, weight, geometry, or expected elongation makes vertical testing impractical. The horizontal layout provides more usable test length, easier specimen handling, and better access for custom grips and fixtures.
Long products such as wire rope, cable, chain, rebar, slings, and assembled hardware can be positioned along the test bed instead of being lifted into a vertical frame. This improves loading access and helps maintain alignment during tensile, proof load, and breaking force testing.
For high-force applications, the horizontal design also supports protective guarding around the test area. This is important when testing specimens that may release stored energy at failure, including ropes, chains, cables, and sling assemblies.
The NG-EML Series H is configured around the specimen type, required force capacity, test length, stroke, fixture design, and safety requirements. The system can be supplied in electromechanical or hydraulic configurations depending on the application.
The horizontal frame supports long specimens and provides stable loading alignment during tensile testing. Test space can be configured according to specimen length, fixture layout, stroke requirements, and available floor space.
The H-205 configuration uses an electromechanical screw-driven system for lower-force long-specimen testing. The H-206 and H-506A configurations use hydraulic loading systems for higher-force tensile, proof load, and breaking force applications.
The system supports closed-loop control of force, displacement, and extension. Load cells, displacement sensors, and extensometer options can be selected according to the required test method and measurement accuracy.
Fixtures are selected according to specimen geometry and loading requirements. Available options may include pin-type grips, wedge grips, rope and cable fixtures, chain fixtures, hook and shackle fixtures, rebar fixtures, and custom tooling for non-standard components.
The system can include protective shielding or a fully enclosed protective frame depending on force capacity and specimen type. Safety functions may include overload protection, travel limits, emergency stop controls, guarded test areas, and protective covers for breaking load tests.
The NG-EML Series H is configured around the customer’s specimen type, required force range, test length, stroke, fixture design, safety requirements, and installation conditions. The listed models are reference configurations; final specifications can be adapted to the application.
Load capacity can be selected according to the required tensile force, proof load, breaking force, and expected safety margin for the specimen.
The horizontal test bed can be configured for long specimens, extended assemblies, high-elongation samples, or application-specific test spacing.
Piston stroke or crosshead travel can be matched to the expected elongation, loading procedure, and required displacement range.
Frame width can be adjusted for oversized samples, wide fixtures, rope or chain assemblies, and components with non-standard geometry.
Fixture packages can include pin-type grips, wedge grips, rope and cable fixtures, chain fixtures, rebar fixtures, or custom tooling.
Guarding can be configured for high-force tensile tests, breaking load applications, and specimens that may release stored energy at failure.
Measurement components can be selected for the required force range, displacement control, extension measurement, and test method accuracy.
Test methods, result calculations, real-time graphs, report templates, and data export workflows can be configured for laboratory or production use.
Electrical supply, hydraulic power unit location, operator access, specimen handling, and available floor space can be reviewed during configuration.
Heavy-duty systems can be configured with project-specific foundation, anchoring, access, and installation requirements based on machine size and load capacity.
Configuration Note: Each NG-EML Series H system should be specified based on specimen type, maximum force, required test length, expected elongation, grip design, safety requirements, and facility constraints.
The NG-EML Series H can be supplied with a closed-loop control system for force, displacement, and extension measurement. The control package is selected according to the machine configuration, required capacity, sensor package, and test method.
The software supports programmable test procedures, real-time display of force and displacement data, live graphing, custom report formats, and result calculations for tensile strength, proof stress, yield behavior, elongation, modulus, and breaking force. For production or laboratory workflows, reports and test data can be configured for export and review based on the customer’s documentation requirements.
