DMA 50 : accurate, versatile & cost-effective
Versatile and flexible
Flexible operating modes allow for instant repeating of
routine DMA and TMA tests, as well as for the definition
of specific tests combining multiple parameter settings.
Depending on the test configuration, the position of the
mechanical frame can be easily reversed.
For tests requiring the specimen to be immersed in
liquid, this function is particularly effective, since it
allows use of all the available specimen-holders, regardless
of the stress mode and does not require the
purchase of expensive accessories.
DMA 50 is a desktop DMA offering a high force range
and outstanding flexibility from glass transition determination
to immersed tests, which makes it a thermomechanical
testing platform.
Tension jaws for bars
Compression plates
Main assets
❚ High force: 50 Newtons
❚ Broad frequency range: from 1E-5Hz to 200 Hz
❚ Broad temperature range: from -150°C to 600°C
❚ Analysis of specimens with sizes representative
of the material
❚ High performance of the auto-tension mode
(coupled static/dynamic control) for film and
3-points bending modes
❚ Multi-purpose thermal chamber
❚ Reversible frame
❚ Possible immersed tests for all stress modes at
no extra cost
❚ Simple to use
❚ Can be used with simple electric power supply
❚ Low price
Tension jaws for fibers
Tension jaws for films
Bending-mode test on a composite
material immersed in a solvent bath
Suited to each material
A range of 8 specimen holders allows for different types
of strain (tension, compression, bending and shear) for a
great variety of materials of very diverse shapes: fibers,
films, plates, cylinders, pasty materials, etc.
Main uses
❚ DMA, TMA, simultaneous DMA/TMA tests with
DYNATEST software
❚ Determination of glass and secondary transitions
❚ Particularly well suited to polymers and
composites
❚ Analysis of films and specimens with small
stiffnesses
❚ Tests on materials immersed in a liquid
❚ R&D / Quality control
❚ Education / Lab work
Shear jaws for films
Planar shear
Upgradeable
DMA 50 allows for the set-up of an additional channel to
facilitate analysis coupled with the DMA test. Acquisition
of additional measurement channels is possible: temperature,
hygrometry, oxygen, gas atmosphere, etc.
Cost-effective
DMA 50 is a cost-attractive platform for thermal and
mechanical characterization. It can be used from a
regular main outlet. For subambient working conditions,
DMA50N can be coupled to either an oven-stabilized
bath, or a cryogenic source.
DMA 50’s productivity is enhanced by automatic test
sequencing capabilities
Precise
With its metrological selections, innovating dynamic, static control algorithms, DMA 50
guarantees optimum control of all parameters influencing measurement quality.
High force
DMA 50N includes a dedicated electrodynamic actuator (01dB-Metravib patent), specifically
designed to meet DMA requirements.
This gives DMA 50 a great flexibility regarding the material’s change of mechanical behavior
versus temperature, and the capacity to analyze specimens with sizes that are representative
of material structure, for either dynamic tests or static tests (creep, TMA).
Ergonomics
The automatically opening/closing thermal chamber allows for large clearance and, free
access to the specimen, as well as very comfortable handling conditions for the operator.
