The Load Frame consists of a cabinet which houses the gear system and motor with sturdy angle iron frame. the loading is done through the bottom loading platen, which is carried on a lead screw, which advances upwards. the top load bracket, which slides over two upright pillars, can be positioned at any desired height and locked. It carries a screw adapter for standard Proving rings and Load Cells.
The loading part of the unit is detachable from the main unit for ease of transport and to avoid damage to the tension rods.
Rates of Strain: 30 fixed speeds between 0.00048 mm/min and 6.00 mm/min.
Suitable for operation on 220 V, 50 Hz, single phase, AC supply

FAQ's of Load Frame, Motorised, 30 Speeds:
Q: How does the Motorised Load Frame achieve accurate load measurement?
A: The Load Frame incorporates an integrated electronic load cell with calibration that measures loads up to 50 kN, providing an accuracy of 1% of the indicated load and a resolution of 0.01 kN, ensuring reliable testing results.
Q: What materials and types of tests can be conducted using this equipment?
A: This machine is designed for laboratory and industrial testing of soil, concrete, bitumen, and other materials. It facilitates various test methods conforming to IS, ASTM, and BS standards.
Q: When should operators utilize the emergency stop and thermal overload protection features?
A: The emergency stop switch should be used immediately if a safety hazard occurs during operation. Thermal overload protection automatically activates to prevent the motor from overheating, safeguarding both users and the equipment.
Q: Where can the Load Frame be installed for optimal use?
A: The frame is suitable for both tabletop and floor-standing installation, making it adaptable to laboratory and workshop settings with sufficient space and a stable 230V AC power source.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the platen size and accommodating different sample sizes?
A: Operators can adjust the specimen area and platen, which is 150 mm in diameter, to fit various sample sizes. The machine allows testing of single specimens at a time, with adjustable mounting for optimal positioning.
Q: How do adjustable speed and travel limiters benefit laboratory testing?
A: With 30 selectable test speeds ranging from 0.5 to 50 mm/min and adjustable limit switches for maximum and minimum travel, the load frame enables precise control over testing parameters, supporting diverse material assessments.
Q: What advantages does the semi-automatic control mode offer for users?
A: The semi-automatic, motorised control simplifies operation by automating test execution and speed selection, reducing manual handling and ensuring reproducible results for laboratory personnel and quality inspectors.
