Dynamic fatigue machines

ZwickRoell electromechanical servo test actuators are versatile and can be used as flexible testing machines for a wide range of applications. They are ideal for both tensile and compression testing, and can be easily integrated into various test fixtures and customized to specific needs.

With these actuators, you can perform everything from material testing and component testing to tests on finished products. They are also ideal for verifying individual production steps such as joining, press-fitting and assembly.

In addition, the actuators can handle fatigue testing with large stroke lengths, making them an excellent choice for advanced testing environments where high precision and repeatability are essential. Powered by an AC motor, no hydraulics are required, making them easy to move between different applications.

With a ZwickRoell servo test actuator, you get a reliable, energy-efficient and user-friendly solution to meet today's high demands on testing and quality control.

Vibrophore - energy-efficient resonance testing machine for fatigue and static tests
ZwickRoell's Vibrophore is a high-frequency testing machine that combines resonance technology and electromagnetic drive to perform dynamic and static tests with high precision and low energy consumption. The machine is ideal for determining fatigue strength (HCF), service life and fracture behavior of materials and components.

In the latest generation, the Vibrophore can also be used for static tensile and compression tests up to 1,000 kN, making it a truly multifunctional testing solution for both R&D and quality assurance.

Typical applications:

• Fatigue testing of bolts, crankshafts, piston rods, reinforcing steel and concrete
• Fracture mechanics tests (CT/SEB specimens)
• Production testing and lifetime simulation of dynamically loaded components

Vibrophore combines high performance with energy savings and low operating costs, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume testing and advanced materials analysis.

LTM series are electrodynamic testing machines with patented linear motor technology, developed for both dynamic and static testing. The machines have low moving mass and offer outstanding control and stability - ideal for fatigue, tensile, compression and bending testing in the 1-10 kN force range.

Thanks to its oil-free and quiet drive technology, the LTM is particularly in demand in industries with high demands for a clean environment and low noise levels - such as medical technology, plastics industry and academic research.

Typical uses:

• Fatigue testing of plastic, metal and fiber composites
• Standardized testing of implants: hip, knee, dental
• Component testing with flexible T-track platform
• Functional and strength testing in R&D and education

With testXpert and testXpert R, you get an intuitive user interface with complete control over all test procedures - from configuration to data collection and analysis. The machine is delivered complete and ready to integrate into laboratories and production environments.

ZRS offers advice, installation, training and service - we help you get the most out of your LTM machine.

Servo-hydraulic fatigue test systems - maximum stiffness and reliability in dynamic testing
ZwickRoell servo-hydraulic test frames are specifically designed for fatigue testing and crack growth analysis, where high measurement accuracy and frame stiffness are essential. They are used to determine material properties under cyclic loading, including:

• High-cycle fatigue (S-N) / Wöhler curves
• Low cycle fatigue (LCF)
• Fracture mechanics and fracture propagation

The test actuator can be mounted above or below the test area depending on ergonomics and type of test. The actuator has hydrostatic bearings, which provide very low friction, minimal wear and long life - even at high loads and frequencies.

The systems are powered by separate hydraulic power packs, available in different power classes to adapt to your needs. With extremely high frame stiffness and a precision-controlled tool and load cell mount with guide pin and flange, exceptional alignment and repeatability is achieved in all test procedures.

ZwickRoell test systems always come with testControl II electronics and testXpert software, ensuring precise control, data collection and analysis - integrated and user-friendly.

ZRS helps you every step of the way - from configuration to installation, calibration and long-term service.

HTM - high-speed tester for materials with crash data and strain rate requirements
ZwickRoell's HTM series are advanced servo-hydraulic testing machines for high strain rates, ideal for applications where the fracture behavior of the material is affected by the loading rate - such as in crash, impact or rapid deformation.

With test forces from 25 kN up to 160 kN and a maximum piston speed of 20 m/s, the HTM machines enable reliable testing of materials and components under real load conditions.

The system comes complete with hydraulic power units, high-precision sensors, testControl electronics and testXpert software, providing a seamless and integrated test solution - from sample clamping to data analysis.

Thanks to its wide speed control, HTM can be used for both slow and extremely fast test runs, making it ideal for developing constitutive models, simulations and safety calculations in the automotive, aerospace, packaging and advanced materials research industries.
