The TSFM500H is designed for compression and tension testing of springs, packaging, metals, fabrics, and other items requiring up to 500 lb of force. Generous clearance and throat depth accommodate a broad range of sample shapes and sizes. The stand features a remote control unit for added safety during testing. The TSFM500H’s durable and rigid column minimizes bend, making it particularly well suited for precision spring testing.

The operator can select from a speed range of 0.2 – 5.5 in/min. Customized speed ranges are available (contact Mark-10 for more information). Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing more precise and repeatable. Use any Mark-10 force gauge and force gripping fixtures to create a complete testing solution.

Available in vertical and horizontal orientations.

Optional equipment

• A wide range of force gauges and gripping fixtures
• Digital travel display 6" [152 mm] travel, 0.0005" [0.01 mm] resolution, 0.001" [0.03 mm] accuracy, SPC output for automated data collection
• Limit switch kit
  Set of upper and lower adjustable solid state limit switches. Repeatable to within 0.001" [0.03 mm].
• Horizontal / wall mounting kit
  Set of mounting legs that attach to the test stand column in place of the base

  Protects the force gauge against accidental overloads during motorized tests. Adjustable from 20 - 110% of gauge's capacity. Compatible with all Mark-10 force gauges with outputs.
• Set point cable
  Stops test stand travel at programmable high and low set points for tension and compression forces, programmed on a compatible force gauge.
• Custom modifications
  Special modifications are available, including custom-designed fixtures, increased column length, and more. Call 1-888-MARK-TEN for more information.
• Custom speed ranges
  Contact Mark-10 for complete details.
