Case study
Tension and compression testing
Tension and compression testing is a way of determining how something will react when it is subjected to a sequence of push and pull forces.
It may be over a short duration of a few cycles making it suitable to measure static force using an electromechanical tensile/compression testing machine.
Alternatively, it may be applied over many cycles at high-speed to simulate the expected life-span of a component, thus requiring a servohydraulic fatigue testing machine. Note: Mecmesin designs and manufactures electromechanical test systems only.
