There are two variations of force testing. Dynamic force testing looks at how objects react under sudden pressure or when subjected to volatile conditions, while static force testing looks at how objects react under constant pressure. Each type of force and torque testing has its benefits depending on the final application of your product or component and can help determine the cause of component defects. Whether you need to understand load limits, distance limits or break limits, our range of force and torque testing equipment can help.
We stock handheld force gauges manufactured by Starrett which are ideal for standard tensile strength and compression testing, while our benchtop testing equipment can perform tensile strength testing, compression testing, spring testing, cyclic, flexural, shear and other types of materials testing. Force testing equipment is also ideal for understanding extension limits, tear resistance, flexure bend strength and puncture strength, giving you a full understanding of your materials’ capabilities.
Research scientists, design engineers and quality managers have all benefited from our range of force testing and material testing equipment. By using Optimax to create a reliable and traceable testing programme, you can rest assured knowing that your design and manufacturing process is meeting and exceeding industry standards.
If you’re unsure on the specific torque or force testing equipment you might need, get in touch on 01858 436940 to talk to us. We’ll provide individual support and advice based on our extensive industry knowledge and also offer free product demonstrations.
