Electromechanical Materials Testing Machines EM1 MICROTEST
The main advantages of electromechanical testing machines over the hydraulic systems are:
High stability, mainly at low speed or long term tests (corrosion under tension tests, creep tests,
etc.).
Capability of keeping the load during long intervals, with error under 0.1% of the applied force,
or even better (< 0,01%) in the case of calibration by comparison force standard machines or
high stability of load tests .
Electromechanical machines can be operated at speeds ranging from a minimum of
0.0001mm to a maximum of 200 or 1000 mm/min, depending on the model, which
accommodates a wide range of materials and specimens.
Minimum maintenance: They do not need oil, filter or joints replacement.
They do not need extra space for hydraulic power source and they do not need any pipe or
external fittings to transmit the mechanical power.
Very low noise in comparison with hydraulic systems and without the risk of leakage of oil.
Low consumption of energy and no need of expensive cooling systems.
Moreover, the displacement of the moving MICROTEST EM1/FR machines have ever shown

MICROTEST can provide a great variety of grips and accessories, depending on the material or test.
Among others:
Compression platens.
Pneumatic or manual grips for tensile tests with different jaws.
Bend fixtures.
Other test fixtures (shear, friction, tear, peel, etc)
Extensometers, furnaces, climatic chambers, etc.

This flexibility makes EM1 machines very suitable in most of the standardized axial tests, where
the force to be applied is under the load capacity of the machine, in tensile test or compression tests in
the same single test zone.
Among others, with the suitable fixture, the following tests can be done:
Tensile tests on metal samples: standard shapes, ribbons, springs, screws, fasteners, washers,
wires, cables, elastomeric samples, etc
High temperature creep tests
Corrosion under tension tests.
Tensile tests on polymers, composites, rubbers, textiles, ropes, webs, wood, etc.
Tensile tests on standardized steel samples.
Tensile, shear or bending tests on aluminium samples or profiles.
Compression tests on concrete, mortars, ceramics, foams, wood, rocks, etc.
Friction tests, peel tests. Shear, etc.
Bending tests on mortars, concrete, ceramics, wood, paving tiles, etc.
CBR and Marshall test.
Calibration of force transducers (EN ISO 376).
