A compact compression test stand is designed for producing up to 30 lbf (150N) of compression force for switch contact activation testing, small spring testing, peel testing, and more.

Mark-10 Corporation of Copiague, New York, USA, has introduced its new Model ES05 Compression Test Stand.

This compact stand is designed for producing up to 30 lbf (150N) of compression force for such applications as switch contact activation testing, small spring testing, peel testing, and more.

A spring-loaded lever allows for repeatable testing with up to 1.5in (38mm) displacement.

The lever mechanism can be repositioned along the length of the column, allowing this stand to be used for various sized samples.

The ES05's small footprint makes this stand particularly well suited to crowded workbenches, while its low weight makes it very portable for field auditing or for quick transportation to other testing areas.

This test stand is compatible with Mark-10 force gauges and grips.

Founded in 1979 in New York, Mark-10 is a designer and manufacturer of digital force gauges, torque gauges, test stands and gripping fixtures.

Their products have numerous force and torque measurement applications in many industries, including automotive, packaging, pharmaceutical, medical, and others.
