Heavy-Duty Splitting Fixtures for Rock and Composite Shear Testing
NextGen’s category of high-capacity splitting fixtures is engineered for shear and splitting tests on rock, concrete, and composite specimens. These fixtures are purpose-built for use with hydraulic universal testing machines in demanding environments such as geotechnical labs, mining research centers, and structural materials testing facilities. Designed for compatibility with international standards like GB/T 23561.11, they ensure precise and repeatable performance under loads up to 2000 kN or more.
Each fixture in this category features rugged construction, secure mounting systems (including flanges and positioning pins), and flexible specimen accommodation—supporting standard sizes such as Φ50×50 mm and 50×50×50 mm. Whether testing natural rock or engineered composites, these solutions provide the mechanical stability and test consistency required for accurate material analysis.
