NG-SHM Series A — Servo-Hydraulic Universal Testing Machines (300 kN – 3000 kN)
NG-SHM Series A is a high-force servo-hydraulic UTM for static tensile and compression testing of metals. Capacity options from 300 to 3000 kN support oversized round and flat specimens beyond electromechanical limits. The dual-zone configuration enables tension on the upper head and compression on the lower platen without fixture changeover. GenTest software offers standards-based method libraries, real-time curves, automatic calculations, and exportable reports. The system is built for ASTM/ISO metal strength testing in heavy industrial and research environments.
FAQs
Here are some fundamental differences between Class A and Class DP Servo Hydraulic Universal Tensile Testers:
- Class A can only perform tension or compression test, while Class DP can perform tension and compression cyclical test.
- Class DP is much heavier system than Class A. It is a robust machine equipped with a heavier bottom platen and top platen. It also has a much larger cylinder.
- Class DP tensile tester uses I type load cell. This is an more advanced, precise and reliable load cell relative to Class A system.
- During specimen clamping Class DP Servo Hydraulic machine has smaller initial force than Class A. That means that Class DP has smaller rate of damage on specimens during clamping.
- Class DP system is shock absorbent allowing for a minimum ground shock upon tensile specimen break.
- Class DP is easier for tensile testing in general. It is more user friendly, accessible and accurate. When it comes to Class A tensile tester, the operator needs to use a small ladder when loading the specimens, because the tensile test space is in the upper section of the tester.
