Mark-10 TSFM500 Test Stand shown with a typical spring testing application, with Series CG digital force gauge and compression plate.

Mark-10 TSFM500H Test Stand shown with set up for a tensile test, with Series CG digital force gauge and wedge grips.

The TSFM500 test stand is designed for compression and tension testing of springs, packaging, metals, fabrics, and other items requiring up to 500 lbF of force. Generous clearance and throat depth accommodate a broad range of sample shapes and sizes. The TSFM500’s durable and rigid column minimizes bend, making it particularly well suited for precision spring testing.

Speed is adjustable and a remote control unit provides added safety during testing. Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing precise and repeatable.

When used with a Series BG or CG force gauge, travel can be stopped at user-selectable force set points (requires optional set point cable). The optional overload protection module prevents force gauge overload.
