MFX500-B   Feeler arm extensometer

The extensometer MFX 500-B is suitable for almost all samples from a gauge length of 10 mm. Because of its rugged construction and high accuracy the MFX nearly meets all applications in measurement of linear strain (determination of the E-modulus up to sample fracture). The MFX works without restrictions in both the upper as well as the lower test area.

When used in combination with the MFQ-A the MFX is highly suitable for testing the deep-drawing properties (vertical anisotropy r) of thin sheets. It is available with two measuring systems which differentiates in measuring signal and other technical Data (see technical data sheets).

Adventages:

  • Accuracy class 0.5 (EN ISO 9513)
  • Resolution max. 0.01 µm (1 Vpp) or 0.05 µm (RS422/TTL)
  • Gauge length from 10 mm
  • Automatic movement to the position and initial gauge length
  • Automatic attachment to the specimen
  • Measuring travel 500 mm minus gauge length
  • Low activating force (max 10 cN)
  • Operating range in upper and lower testing space possible
  • Combinable with the transversal extensometer MFQ-A

Additional versions:

  • Measuring heads for climatic chamber
  • Measuring arms with tilting mechanism
  • Measuring arms for bending tests
  • Extended measuring heads +45 or +90 mm
