MT200 Compression & Horizontal Bending Stage

By Deben UK Ltd

Microtest™ 200N stages have been specifically designed to allow real time observation of the high stress region of a sample with an SEM, optical microscope, AFM or XRD system. With dual threaded leadscrews the centre of the specimen stays centrally located. Loadcells from 2N to 200N cover most applications, with extension rates from 0.1mm/min to 15mm/min. All stages have linear scales for elongation measurement and optical encoders for speed control. Windows software sets drive parameters and displays the stress/strain curve live on the computer screen. Options include three and four point bending clamps, fibre clamps and microscope mounting adaptors. Special versions of the stage can be manufactured to customer requirements. Stages are controlled from our Microtest tensile testing software. The 200N tensile stage uses miniature loadcells in the range 2N to 200N. Samples are mounted horizontally, clamped to a pair of jaws and supported on stainless steel sliding bearings. A dual threaded leadscrew drives both jaws symmetrically in opposite directions, keeping the sample centered in the field of view. The 200N module is ideally suited for use with an SEM, optical microscope or AFM and will easily fit on most stages. Travel is 10mm by default with 20mm optionally available. Custom versions are available with heating/cooling, extended specimen length and stage travel.

CT5000RT

CT5000RT X-ray CT Tensile and Compression Stage A compact in-situ tensile and compression stage for X-ray CT and µXCT systems, enabling real-time 3D imaging of internal material behaviour during mechanical loading. CT5000RT – In-Situ Tensile & Compression Stage for X-ray CT In association with the major manufacturers µXCT systems including Zeiss, RX Solutions, Bruker, Tescan/XRE, Nikon, Sigray and Baker Hughes/Waygate we are now able to offer an integrated tensile testing solution for your µXCT application. Using tensile testing with µXCT provides a clear visual interpretation of how the properties of materials and composites change under different loading conditions. The compact design of these testing stages allow them to be used with the smallest high resolution micro CT systems providing a range of tensile and compression stages with forces up to 20kN and resolutions down to 25mN. Systems are controlled from the comprehensive MICROTEST tensile stage control software giving a wide range of control functions and a live display of load versus extension and supplied with all required cabling and mounting adaptors for specific µXCT systems. Further details and pricing is available from your micro CT supplier or direct from Deben.
