Deben CT5000 5kN In-Situ Loadcell Tensile/Compression Stage

The Deben CT5000 In-Situ Tensile/Compression stage is an accessory tool used with the Zeiss Xradia Versa 620 3D X-ray NanoCT 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, compression and torsion 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.

Features and Capabilities

  • Modular tensile & compression testing system to be installed within a µXCT system
  • Peltier heated & cooled jaws with temperature range from -20°C to +160°C
  • Maximum load reading resolution, 1000:1 dynamic, 2000:1 static (of full scale range)
  • Simple specimen exchange mechanism with vitreous glassy carbon support tube, 3.0mm wall thickness (6.0mm in beam path)
  • Maximum extension 10mm (stroke can be set depending on customer requirements, default is (10-20mm tensile), (15-5mm compression) with compression platens fitted
  • Fixed loadcell with accuracy, 1% of full scale range, up to 5kN
