ESM1500 (1500 lbF capacity) and ESM750 (750 lbF capacity) single-column force testers are a great affordable, highly configurable solutions for tension and compression testing applications.

These machines are suitable for break testing, cycle testing, top load testing, wire pull testing, compressing or pulling to a load or distance limit, load holding.

These stands are budget friendly. You only have to purchase the optional functions that you need. This keeps the price down, but still gives you the option to add more functions later if your testing requirements change. All optional functions are unlocked for 160 operational hours, so you can try the functions before purchasing.

Collect force and travel data, plot and analyze results, and control test stand motion via MESUR®gauge Plus software.

Please fill out the form and we can contact you to discuss your application and testing requirements. We can then quote the appropriate configuration of this equipment.

*"LC" models include mounting for a load cell and indicator. "FG" models include mounting for a force gauge.

*At 500 lbF (2,500 N) or more, force gauges are not recommended for applications involving sudden, sharp breaks. Examples include compression of brittle materials, pull testing of welds, etc. Consider an -LC test stand with indicator and load cell.

**Because of load cell deflection and system deflection are present and not automatically compensated for, this equipment is recommended for applications requiring at least 0.2 in [5 mm] of travel distance.

Optional Functions

Feature	Part No.	Description	Requirements
FollowMe™ force-based positioning	SF008	Position the crosshead by manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning.	Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
Travel indication	SF009 (ESM1500 / ESM750) SF009-1 (ESM1500S / ESM750S)	Position is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilizing Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated.	For data output to a PC, a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator is required.
Computer control	SF010	Fully control the stand and force gauge / indicator via custom-written application in any language supporting ASCII communications. Also responds to the legacy Chatillon TCD command set and legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10). This option is not required for MESUR®gauge Plus software.	Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator SF009 travel indication For full speed range, consider SF017 and SF018 speed range extensions
Programmable travel limits	SF011	The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances.	SF009 travel indication option
Overload protection	SF012	Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. Also compatible with many competitors’ gauges.	Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
Auto return	SF013	The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the opposite limit.	Reversing at force set point: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator Reversing at travel limit: SF011 programmable travel limits option Reversing at break: SF019 break detection option
Cycling / dwell time	SF014	Same as auto-return, but programmable up to 99,999 cycles. Programmable dwell time at upper and lower limits up to 9,999 seconds.	Same as auto-return, at the same speed in each direction. Add SF016 for independent up and down speeds.
Independent Up and Down speeds	SF016	Individually specify speeds for the up and down directions.	-
Low speed extension	SF017	Extends the standard speed range down to 0.001 in/min (0.02 mm/min).	-
High speed extension	SF018 SF018-1	ESM1500 / ESM1500S: Extends max speed to 90 in/min (2,300 mm/min). ESM750 / ESM750S: Extends max speed to 60 in/min (1,525 mm/min).	-
Break detection	SF019	Crosshead stops at a programmable drop in force.	Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
Loadholding	SF020	Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a specified load for an indefinite or specified period of time.	Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator If a specified time is required, order SF014 cycling / dwell time option
Preload / sample touch	SF021	Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload - useful in tensile, spring, elongation, and other applications.	SF009 travel indication Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator
Profiles	SF022	Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preload, etc. Maximum of 50 profiles may be stored.	-
Complete options package	SFCOMP (ESM1500 / ESM750) SFCOMP-1 (ESM1500S / ESM750S)	Includes all functions listed above. Requires a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator.
