Long travel automatic gauge length extensometer


Application : The extensometer AEX500 is suitable for almost all samples of a gauge length (Le) from 10 mm. Because of its rugged construction and high accuracy the AEX500 nearly meets all applications in measurement of linear strain (determination of the E-modulus up to sample fracture). It works without restrictions in both the upper as well as the lower test area.
Design and function : The AEX500 has a smooth running and nearly frictionless linear guidance of the measuring heads. Due to the non-contact incremental gauge the AEX meets all requirements of class 0.5 (EN ISO 9513) over the whole travel. The measuring heads may easily and quickly be removed from the device by unlocking two screws with pin guidance. As an option also version with measuring arms for a climatic chamber is available (up to 350 C).
