MX-500 motorized test stands offer advanced force testing. The combination of screw system and state-of-the-art brushless motor provides extremely smooth and powerful operation over the entire speed range.

Connect the MX-500 test stand with an Imada Z Series force gauge and enable force controlled testing and Conditional Overload Prevention

• One stand for both compression (push) and tension (pull) tests

• Maximum load 500 lbf
• Jog, Single Cycle, Continuous Cycle (72 hour max.), Force Control
• Combination of ball screw drive system and high performance brushless motor provides extremely smooth and powerful operation over the entire speed range.
• Wide speed range: 0.2 – 7 in/min (optional speed ranges available)
• Force Controlled operation with Imada Z Series force gauges
• Optional timer and digital distance meter
• Conditional Overload Prevention

High/Low Set Point Force Control - Force control is activated when the applied force is at or between the high and low set point(s) of the Z Series force gauge and is deactivated by the digital timer. Initial carriage speed is controlled by the variable or fixed speed settings.

One Way Force Control - Initial carriage speed is controlled by the variable or fixed speed settings. When the applied force reaches the low set point of the Z Series force gauge, the test stand’s carriage speed is adjusted to 20% of maximum and decreases to zero as the applied force reaches the high set point. Ideal for non-destructive testing. Speed control, quick return and emergency stop are standard features. The MX-500 accepts any of the standard range Imada force gauges. Optional timer and digital distance meter available
AP-002 Adapter Plate is available to mount most other force gauges to IMADA test stands
