Load Frames Overview

triaxial load frameDGSI offers three models of load frames and numerous accessories to extend the utility of these machines. In general, load frames can be distinguished by their compression capacity, piston speeds, and ability to accomodate various test cells. Note that load frames include a controller, but test cells, transducers, and readouts, are purchased separately.

DGSI load frames have the following features in common:

• DC motor for vibration free operation

Safety
• Emergency stop switch
• Automatic overtravel shutoff switch.

Convenience
• LCD display for setup prompts, data, and position of platen.
• Rapid up/down, return home functions
• Auxilliary power sockets for digital accessories.
• Compatible with a wide range of transducers, readouts, test cells, and test panels.
