TCD500 Series Digital Force Tester (1100 lbf, 5000 N) - Ross Brown ...

TCD500 SeriesDigital Force Tester (1100 lbf, 5000 N)Specification SheetSS-FM-3137-0105January 2005The TCD500 Series digital test stand features bi-directional RS232 communications that support data exchange and remote control using a personalcomputer. Force and defl ection data may be transmitted or requested and used with our NEXYGEN FM Series software for comprehensive force measurementand material testing analysis. The TCD500 features a ball screw drive with dual column alignment for precise linear motion. Dynamic brakingprovides positive control of the motor. Programming of test speed, high and low defl ection setpoints and cycling are performed using the membrane-stylekeypad on the Remote Operator’s Console. “MIN” and “MAX” speed functions are also provided for easy setup. Two LCD displays indicate speed anddefl ection values along with status indicators of the programmed functions and units ofmeasurement (inches or millimeters).Features Easy to Use, Rugged Construction Membrane Multi-function Keypad for Simple Operation Serial Data Communications Precision Ball Screw Drive Mechanism Programmable Cycling Up to 1000 Cycles Limit Cycling on Force and Defl ection Dynamic Braking Emergency Stop Button Adjustable High and Low Limits Maintenance-free Design 1 Year WarrantySpecificationsCapacity: 1100 lbf (5000 N)Note: Higher speed testers derated to 550 lbf (2500 N)Crosshead Speed: Model DependentSpeed Accuracy: +5% Full ScaleTravel: Approximately 1Load Measuring: Chatillon Force Gauge- E Systems use the E-DFE Series- S Systems use the DFS SeriesOutputs:RS232C Serial Data CommunicationsSupply Voltage: 115Vdc or 220VdcOperating Temp: 40 to 95F (5 to 35C)Weight:Approx.Warranty:1 yearTCD500-E with E-DFE Series digital force gauge
