MTS Acumen 12 - Electrodynamic testing system

The MTS Acumen 12 electrodynamic testing system allows static and dynamic loading up to ± 12 kN for cyclic, tensile, bending and compression tests.

Mechanical tests can be carried out in both force-controlled and strain-controlled modes (with an MTS extensometer) up to frequencies of 100 Hz. The MTS Acumen 12 is compatible with the environmental chamber for testing in the temperature range (-190 to +350) °C. The MTS Acumen 12 is controlled by the MTS FlexTest unit. The MTS TestSuite Multipurpose Elite software allows the creation of a broad range of specific tests (variable frequencies and load ranges within 1 cycle) and high data acquisition rates (up to 2048 Hz) during the test.
