Description
Self-aligning compression plates are designed to adjust to angular displacement of the material being tested. These plates can also be set to a fixed position by tightening the nuts.
Self-aligning platens are designed for compression testing materials with uneven surfaces, variable load distribution, and angular misalignment between surfaces. These platens adapt to the changes in non-uniform loading.
Common materials self-aligning platens are used for testing; rubber, plastics, heavy duty springs, building products, composites and ceramics.
