Mechanical Testing - UniVert

Mechanical Testing - UniVert

Mechanical testing when and where you need it for tension, compression and bending testing


The UniVert is ideal for a wide range of mechanical testing applications and its small footprint and affordable price allows users to have testing capabilities when and where they are needed. The easy-to-use software and interchangeable components make the system ideal to use without the need for extensive training or supervision.

The system is capable of tension, compression, and bending testing at forces up to 1kN. A wide range of grips and fixtures are available to accommodate different specimens and testing modes.

Key Features

  • Quality, cost-effective testing in a small package
  • Easy to use with simple fixture and load cell changes to accommodate a range of uses
  • High-resolution CCD imaging with image-based strain measurement tools (optional)
  • Fully featured user interface software for simple, cyclic, relaxation, and multi-modal testing with real-time feedback
  • Available in the high-force 1kN model with 5X force capacity
  • Multiple axis testing - optional modules to enable shear, twist and pressure axis can be added to the primary linear test axis
  • Available high-performance S2 upgrade S2 with 5X speed, cycle frequency, and data rate
