DGSI. Durham Geo Slope Indicator

S-600 Triaxial Load Frame

The Durham Geo electronically controlled Triaxial Load Frame has a compression capacity of 10,000 lbf (45 kN). The user friendly Interface/Controller allows the user to set speed and distance of travel and observe actual platen position during the test. The display may be configured in the engineering units of choice and is used to simplify set-up by using screen prompts. Modular construction enhances the reliability of the system and keeps service and maintenance to a minimum.

Standard features:

yes

Precision DC motor for vibration free operation

yes Motor and reduction box grease packed for long life
