Series 819 High-Rate Test Systems

High-rate dynamic tests are used to simulate automotive accidents, airplane crashes, munitions explosions and other high-impact events. These stiff, durable load frames and high-response servohydraulics apply forces from 5 to 500 kN (1 to 110 kip) and achieve velocities from 1 to 21 m/sec (39 to 830 in./sec).

Key Features & Benefits

  • Accurate / Repeatable Results — Piezoelectric load washer enables fast, accurate force measurement
  • Durable / Reliable — Extra-long hydraulic cushions prevent actuator damage after specimen failure
  • Precise — Eight data acquisition channels record at rates up to 1.25 million samples per second simultaneously
  • Versatile — Compatible grips and fixtures accommodate a wide range of specimen types
