Designed for high-capacity compression, bend/flex, and shear testing, DX Compression-Only Models are available in capacities from 300 - 600 kN (67,500 - 135,000 lbf).

Features and Benefits

• Single compression-only test space is ideal for compression testing on metals, concrete/asphalt, and soil specimens
• Special fixtures available for stabilometer and moisture exudation testing 
• Load frame, hydraulic power supply, and controller combined in a single package saves valuable lab floor space
• Productivity panel with multiple function keys and displays allows the operator to perform common testing functions and view key test information without returning to the computer
• Powerful, yet user-friendly materials testing software provides repeatable and reproducible results
• Variable pressure power supply provides pressure on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating the need for water cooling
