Mark-10 ESM303 Motorized Test Stand (300 lbF)

The ESM303 will be discontinued in October 2023. It is being replaced by Series F EasyMESUR test stands. 

A wide range of tests can be performed, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, load holding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more.

Configurable test speed, force and distance limits, cycling, preload, and many other functions, all protected by a password. 

Individual optional functions, such as travel measurement, cycling, load holding, etc., may be purchased either upfront or enabled in the field through an activation code. This a-la-carte platform allows for custom configuration as appropriate for the application and budget. 

Collect force and travel data, plot and analyze the results, and control test stand motion via PC-based MESUR™gauge Plus software. Or, fully control the stand by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications.

Specifications

• Load capacity
• 300 lbF (1.5 kN) @ up to 24 in/min (610 mm/min)
• 200 lbF (1 kN) @ >24 in/min (610 mm/min)
• Maximum travel distance: 18.0 in (457 mm)
• Speed range:
• Standard: 0.5 - 13 in/min (13 - 330 mm/min)
• Optional: 0.02 - 45 in/min (0.5 - 1,100 mm/min)
• Speed setting accuracy: ±0.2% of setting
• Speed variation with load: ±0% (stepper motor driven)
• Travel accuracy: ±0.002 in. per 10 in. (±0.05 mm per 250 mm)
• Because 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.
• Travel resolution: 0.001 in / 0.02 mm
• Limit switch repeatability: 0.001 in (0.03 mm)
• Power: Universal input 80-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 60W
• Weight: 56.5 lb (25.6 kg)
• Warranty: 3 years [see individual statement for further details]

Product Options

Any of the below functions may be purchased at time of order or may be enabled in the field at a later date through a code activation process. The only exception is the AF009 travel measurement option, which also requires field hardware installation. 

A complete options package is also available, including all of the below features at a discounted price.

The test stand is shipped in Demo Mode, during which time all available features are temporarily enabled for 160 hours of operation.
