Bioreactor Chamber

Overview

4 Point Bend_Fixture

ElectroForce bend fixtures are designed to provide simple, accurate fixturing for the testing of various specimens. The corrosion-resistant design allows use in saline and high temperature environments.

Key Features

  • Corrosion-resistant design
  • Both 3 and 4 point bend fixtures are available
  • Lightweight design with minimal moving mass
  • Can be used in submersible and non-submersible environments
  • Rated for high temperature applications
  • Adjustable upper and lower spans
  • Available for all ElectroForce Model 3xxx, TestBench, and Biodynamic test systems

Environmental Chambers

Overview

Saline_Chamber

TA Electroforce saline environmental baths are engineered to be easily configurable. These chambers feature removable front plates to allow easy access for installing specimens and a temperature control system to maintain a desired temperature. A removable top cover is also included to minimize fluid and heat loss.

Key Features

  • Corrosion-resistant design
  • Software controlled temperature control system
  • Temperature range ambient to 45C
  • Optical-grade polycarbonate chamber sides
  • Flat sides design for imaging purposes
  • Saline bath includes cover to minimize fluid loss

Saline baths are available for the following systems:

  • ElectroForce 3200 and 3300 systems
  • ElectroForce 3510 axial systems and axial/torsion systems
  • ElectroForce LM1 TestBench and LM1 planar-biaxial systems

Overview

Low_Force_Axial_LC

ElectroForce test instruments are oftentimes used to measure or control low-force applications. ElectroForce low-force axial transducers provide high accuracy, high resolution measurements for precise testing results.

Key Features

  • The axial force cells are tension/compression transducers that have a welded stainless steel construction designed to minimize the effects of off-axis forces
  • Load cells come pre-wired and gained for integration into an existing PCI control box
  • Sensor calibration is included in the purchase of new cells
  • Force sensors that are rated for the full capacity of the test system are calibrated according to ASTM E4 calibration procedures. This calibration process can be extended to many of the lower force sensors offered.

  • Sensors available from 250 g to 450 N. For higher force cells, refer to the High Force Axial Transducers page

Overview

Hot_Cold_Chamber

A TA Electroforce hot/cold chamber upgrade adds the ability to test specimens in either cooled or heated environments on ElectroForce® test instruments. The chamber is computer controlled allowing either static temperature conditions to be set, or temperature sweeps to be performed.

Overview

  • Software controlled temperature control system
  • Static and dynamic temperature control capable
  • -150°C to +350°C temperature range
  • Chamber cooling using a customer-supplied liquid nitrogen tank
  • Integral heater included
  • Chamber can be easily removed from the test instrument for other testing
  • Hot/cold chambers are available for ElectroForce 3200, 3330 and 3500 test systems
