High-Force 5980 Series Universal Testing System
Up to 600 kN Force Capacity
The Instron® 5980 Series Electromechanical Universal Testing Systems are high-capacity, floor-standing testing machines engineered for superior precision, durability, and adaptability. With force capacities up to 600 kN, these systems support a wide range of mechanical tests—including tensile, compression, flexure, bend, peel, shear, tear, creep, and cyclic testing—on both raw materials and finished components.
Ideal for high-strength materials, the 5980 Series is frequently used in aerospace, automotive, and metallurgical industries for testing advanced composites, metal alloys, fasteners, bolts, steel plates, and structural components. The high frame stiffness of the 5980 Series delivers enhanced performance and accuracy, particularly when evaluating high-modulus composites and crystalline polymers.
