Compression Platens

COMPRESSION PLATENS

For Universal, Dynamic, and Fatigue Testing Machines

compression platens

Compression platens are used to perform compression tests on a wide range of materials and components. When installed in a Universal Testing Machine they allow a variety of tests to be performed to determine compression modulus, compression strength, and compression yield strength.

2501 SERIES FOR STATIC TESTING

50 N – 600 kN Load Capacities
 

Principle of Operation

Easy to install, the 2501 Series compression platens are precisely machined fixtures that are designed for even distribution of compression loads during a test. These platens have a hardened surface (Rockwell HRC 58/60) for compression tests in which uniform stress distribution is critical.

Application Range

Type of loading: Static compression, compression-compression cyclic tests
Specimen material: Foam, plastic, metals, alloys, packaging, wood, composites, ceramics and other materials
Specimen shapes: Square, cylindrical cubes, components

OTHER MODELS

Self-Aligning | High Force | Fatigue Rated

Self-Aligning / Spherical Seatings

For Static and Dynamic Testing Applications
During the application of a small preload, the spherical seated compression platen provides the self-alignment required to accommodate compression specimens which have surfaces that are not completely parallel.

W-2004 Series for High Force Static Testing

600 kN – 5000 kN Load Capacities
These high-strength, versatile platens can be easily configured with Instron and other static universal testing machines.

Foam Compression Fixture

Catalog no. 2810-130
The foam compression fixture is designed for indentation and compression testing of expanded cellular materials. Standards that require this style of fixture include ASTM D3574, ASTM D5672, ISO 2439 and ISO 3386. The major items of the fixture include a perforated loading table and a circular indentor/ anvil. The 203 mm diameter upper anvil incorporates a swivel joint. The base table is perforated with 6.5 mm holes spaced on 20 mm centers and is elevated from the mounting surface to allow for rapid air escape from the specimen.

2840 Series for Dynamic Testing

200 kN – 2000 kN Static Load Capacities | 100 kN – 1000 kN Dynamic Load Capacities
The 2840 Series compression platens incorporate LVDT mounting and are designed for reliable compressive high-cycle fatigue testing.
