Psylotech: Mechanical Test Instruments, Universal Testing Systems

Psylotech Microscoping™ load cell technology enables a wide range of novel experimental setups. For example:

Stress control in DMA specimens, monitoring small strain perturbations as the material transitions from the glassy to rubbery plateau.
Increased universality in universal test frames: a single load cell can cover 3 powers of ten, e.g. 500, 50 and 5 N.
Grip weight can be removed from the signal without reducing range from taring, benefiting low peak load tests such as a single fiber tension.
Acoustic sensors monitoring ligament collapse on compressed foam can be replaced.

3-axes: axial load in x and bending moments about y and z.
Microscoping™ technology, i.e. 500 N load cell is effective in a 5 N test
High overload protection: up to 800x
Theoretically infinite fatigue limit, since there is no strain gauge bondline to fail
Window offers 100x higher stiffness, and therefore 10x higher resonance frequency
Mechanical and electrical temperature compensation
