HTM – High-Speed Tester for High Strain Rates

HTM – High-Speed Tester for Materials Requiring Crash Data and Strain Rate Measurements
ZwickRoell's HTM series consists of advanced servo-hydraulic testing machines designed for high strain rates, ideal for applications where a material's fracture behavior is influenced by the loading rate—such as in crash, impact, or rapid deformation scenarios.

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

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

Thanks to its wide speed control range, HTM can be used for both slow and extremely fast test sequences, making it ideal for the development of constitutive models, simulations, and safety calculations in the automotive industry, aviation, packaging, and advanced materials research.
