ESM303 Motorized Tension / Compression Test Stand

MADE IN U.S.A

The ESM303 is a highly configurable single-column force tester for tension and compression measurement

applications up to 300 lbF [1.5 kN], with a rugged design suitable for laboratory and production environments.

Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMe™

force-based positioning - using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the force gauge

or load cell to move the crosshead at a variable rate of speed.

With generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions, a wide range of tests can be

performed, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, load holding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. Satisfy various test

methods through an easy-to-use menu, allowing the configuration of test speed,

force and distance limits, cycling, preload, and many other functions, all protected

by a password. Save up to 50 profiles to accommodate a range of test methods.

Features: 

• Selectable speed setting
• Upper and lower travel limit switches
• Adjustable, removal controller with intuitive menu navigation
• Password protection of test parameters
• Stepper motor-driven, producing smooth and quiet operation with no speed variation under load
• USB output of force vs. time or force vs. travel
• Compact footprint, suitable for crowded workbenches
• Ergonomic design, with smart, clean cable management
• Integrated electronics assembly, easily removed and transported
• Adjustable mounting plate with T-slot base
