Representative Applications

  • 3-point bending of rodent femur

Instrumentation

The MACH-1™ allows for characterization of mechanical properties such as stiffness, strength, modulus, viscoelasticity, plasticity, hardness, adhesion, swelling, relaxation and creep using load- and displacement-controlled motion.

Specifications
  • Displacement resolution: 0.1µm
  • Travel range: 25mm
  • Maximal velocity: 25mm/s
  • Two interchangeable load cells: ±150g and ±10kg
  • Load cell resolution: 7.5mg for ±150g and 0.5g for ±10kg
