The 200 Tonne Horizontal Tensile machine allows tensile testing of long materials. It can ascertain the tensile strength of such materials to a load capable of 200 Tonne. A hydraulic cylinder and a servo system work together to apply a precise motion and force.
Tensile
A hydraulic cylinder with a stroke of 2000 mm horizontally and a variable speed of 0-150 mm/min produces the tensile load.
Robust Design
The tensile machine frame contains six easily connectable steel sections. One of which contains the 400 mm round hydraulic cylinder. The power pack, hydraulic controls and computer hardware are in stand alone cabinets. Hoses and cables connect these to the main frame. Thus, the design guarantees a long life.
Cross-head Assembly
The cross head rolling assembly is a solid rolling construction. Which is connected to the cylinder rod via a screw on coupling. Anchor box is at the opposite end of the frame to the cross head. Therefore, position this at any point along the machine to accommodate the test sample.
Control Unit
The tensile machine is run by a computer using our Tensile Testing Program. A simple selection of the available functions and control values by the operator allows the 200 Tonne Chain Testing Program to run. And display a test onscreen to the operators’ requirement within the limits of the program.
Thus, Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine - 200 Tonne is the best available in the market. Moreover, for other capacity Tensile Machines, visit the T0015 series.
Frequently Asked Questions: 200 Tonne Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine
1. What is a Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine used for?
A Horizontal Tensile Testing Machine is specifically designed for evaluating the tensile strength and elongation of long specimens that cannot be easily tested in a vertical machine. This 200-tonne (2000kN) model is ideal for testing heavy-duty materials such as steel wire ropes, nylon ropes, chains, electrical cables, anchor links, and webbing slings.
2. What is the maximum testing capacity and length of this machine?
This high-capacity tester features a maximum load of 200 Tonnes (2000kN). To accommodate industrial-scale materials, the machine has a total length of 30 meters, allowing for a maximum chain or rope insertion length of 25 meters. The hydraulic cylinder provides a massive stroke of 2100mm for extensive elongation testing.
3. How accurate is the 200-tonne load measurement?
Precision is critical in industrial safety testing. Our machine utilizes high-precision load cells with an accuracy of ±0.2% Full Scale (FS) and a repeatability of ±0.15% FS. For versatile testing, the system can be equipped with multiple load cells (e.g., 200 Tonne, 20 Tonne, and 2.5 Tonne) to maintain high resolution across different force ranges.
4. Does the machine support automated testing and data logging?
Yes. The machine is integrated with a dedicated Computer Control Unit running proprietary Tensile Testing Software. This allows operators to set parameters, view real-time force vs. displacement graphs, and automatically generate detailed test reports for compliance and quality assurance.
5. Can the machine be customized for specific testing standards?
Absolutely. While the standard model is built for heavy-duty industrial applications, IDM Instruments offers custom configurations. We can adjust frame lengths, load capacities (ranging from 500kN up to 3000kN), and specialized grips or fixtures to meet specific international standards like ISO, ASTM, or AS (Australian Standards).
6. What are the key safety and design features?
The machine features a robust six-section steel frame designed for long-term durability under extreme loads. It includes a hydraulic servo system for precise speed control (0-115 mm/min) and a standalone power pack/control cabinet to isolate sensitive electronics from the main testing frame, ensuring operator safety and equipment longevity.
7. What power supply is required for the 200-tonne hydraulic system?
The high-performance hydraulic servo unit typically requires a 3-phase power supply (415V@50Hz or 220V@60Hz), while the computer control system operates on standard single-phase power (220/240V or 110V).
8. Where can I get maintenance and calibration for this machine?
IDM Instruments provides comprehensive calibration and maintenance services. Given the critical nature of 200-tonne load testing, we recommend regular professional calibration to ensure the load cells and displacement sensors remain within their specified accuracy tolerances.
