UH Series 

Shimadzu Universal Testing Machines 

As global environmental problems become more and more 

serious, materials are required to provide light weight, 

high strength and reliability. The UH Series Shimadzu 

Universal Testing Machines are new universal testing 

machines that provide various functions enabling more 

accurate and simplified measurement of the strength 

required for various materials. 

The UH series enable high-precision 

force measurement conforming to 

the global standards. 

The UH series provide various 

automatic control programs as 

standard functions. 

After a specimen is mounted, all 

operations can be automatically 

performed. 

The UH series are high-quality 

products manufactured in the 

factory that acquired the ISO9001 

certification.

UH-I 

Shimadzu 

Computer-controlled hydraulic servo system 

The functions of the UH-I series are greatly advanced, 

as compared with conventional testing machines. 

The large-sized LCD touch panel 

greatly simplifies operations and 

enhances visibility. 

The UH-I series provide the graphical interface 

that enables various functions 

to be operated on the one-touch panel. 

During a test, a S-S curve is plotted in real time. 

The UH-I series newly provide 

various automatic control programs 

as standard functions. 

The metal tensile test control program is provided as a 

standard function (conforming to JIS Z2241) 

The single test control, cycle test control, high-temperature 

tensile test control, stroke speed 3-step switching control 

programs are provided as standard functions. 

Through the fully-closed loop automatic load control, 

the UH-I series enable stable and accurate tests. 

Force auto-zero and auto-calibration 

functions 

The UH-I series greatly simplify operations by 

omitting troublesome adjuster knob operations. 

The non-revolving screw rod 

improves safety. 

A specimen can be safely mounted and 

dismounted. 

With various application testing 

equipment, the UH-I series are 

applicable to various tests. 

Various test jigs, displacement measuring 

equipment, atmosphere testing equipment, 

test control programs, etc.(See the catalog for 

optional accessories.) 

With connection to the optional data 

processing program, 

the UH-I series enable high-speed 

test data sampling. 

The UH-I series perform data sampling at a high 

speed (5 ms max.) to obtain a true value. 

The UH-I series can be connected to a personal computer 

through the personal computer's standard RS-232C serial 

interface. Also, they can be connected to a notebook 

computer, saving the required space. (The GP-IB or another 

special interface is not necessary.)

The UH-FI series provide easy-to-operate 

front-opening hydraulic grips.

UH-FI 

Shimadzu 

Computer-controlled hydraulic servo system 

With Highly-efficient, front-opening hydraulic grips 

The UH-I series advanced functions are further upgraded. 

Easy-to-operate front-opening hydraulic grips 

The front-opening hydraulic grips using the center hole hydraulic cylinder improves the efficiency in removing a 

specimen and scale, and ensures safe operation. 

Also, these grips enable even long specimens to be easily mounted. 

These grips can be enhanced to the highly-functional, labor-saving model that has the automatic grip face 

changing functions. 

The compression plate can be easily 

mounted anddismounted 

A wrench or other tool is not necessary. 

A specimen grip position index is 

provided 

With the specimen grip position index, the grips 

can easily and accurately grip a specimen. 

The grip face holder is equipped 

with a safety stopper 

The safety stopper prevents the right and left grip 

faces from coming into contact 

due to erroneous operation, so that the grip faces 

will not be damaged. 

The UH-FI series can be enhanced 

to a fully-automated tensile test 

system 

All operations including specimen dimension 

measurement, specimen feeding 

operation, test data processing and chart display 

can be automated.

stop the testing machine and return it to the origin. 

Cycle Count Function 

During a cycle test, the number of repeated load applied 

to the specimen is displayed. Also, this function can stop 

the test, or break the specimen in the preset cycle 

number.

NOTE 

1) The UH series provide the above loading speeds when no specimen is mounted and the oil temperature is 20°C or a higher temperature. 

2) The hydraulic loading system is incorporated in the measurement control unit. 

(For the testing machines with 3000 kN or higher capacity, the hydraulic loading system is separately provided.) 

3) The standard testing machines provide force accuracy of within ±1.0% of the indicated value. 

With the optional high-precision type, the force accuracy is within ±0.5%. 

4) The transverse/bending test jigs are optionally available. 

5) For a different paint color, contact Shimadzu or a local distributor. 

6) In elasticity testing, one set of grip for rod specimens is included as standard equipment. Other types of grips are optional. 

Note: These standard grips are designed for use with specimens with a hardness of HRC40 or less. When using specimens harder than this, 

contact us and we will prepare high-hardness grips.

Standard Specifications 

Universal Testing Machines Extension Series 

When the extension series of universal testing machines are used together with the application testing 

equipment, a wider range of tests can be performed.For details, refer to the catalogs for the application testing 

equipment and application testing system. 

Testing Machine Loading Unit with Extended Post/Screw Rod 

To mount application testing equipment such as the bending test jig, thermostatic chamber and high-temperature furnace to the loading unit, extended 

posts and screw rod may be required. Select the extension model depending on the occupied space of each testing equipment and the specimen size.

Layout/Installation 

The following figures show the standard layout of Shimadzu Universal 

Testing Machines. To change the layout depending on the conditions 

of the installation place or a change in system configuration, examine 

the layout referring to these figures. 

To install the universal testing machine, concrete foundation work is 

required. When purchasing this product, design and construct the 

foundation suitable for the conditions of the installation place (withstand 

strength of the ground, occupied space, etc.), referring to the foundation 

reference drawing presented by Shimadzu Corporation. 

Occupied space recommended for the standard layout 

* For the dimensions of the testing machine loading unit and 

measurement control unit of each type, see p. 14 and 15.

1.Installation environment 

Avoid installing the UH series in the following harsh environments: 

In a place where a large temperature fluctuation is expected 

(Recommended temperature: +5°C to +40°C) 

In a place where high humidity is expected 

(Make sure no condensation occurs in the installation place.) 

In a dusty place 

In a place where the equipment is exposed to vibration (Recommended 

vibration amplitude: 5 μm or less) 

In a place contaminated by corrosive gas 

In a place where the equipment is directly exposed to vapor 

In a place where the equipment is directly exposed to sunlight 

2.Requirements for power supply 

Conduct electric wiring work to the position shown in the foundation 

reference drawing. 

Avoid using a power supply with large voltage fluctuations. 

(Recommended voltage fluctuation level: Within ±10%) 

If voltage fluctuations cannot be avoided, use a constant-voltage 

power supply. 

3.Cooling water 

To mount the optional oil cooling unit, conduct water supply/drain 

piping work to the position shown in the foundation reference 

drawing presented by Shimadzu Corporation.
