Tensile and breaking strength tested for old paper
Two measurements of strength, tensile and breaking, are made using Zwick's Universal Testing Machine, by Zentrum fur Bucherhaltung (Center for Book Preservation) in Leipzig.
* Tire test stand - for the determination of the rigidity of tires under vertical and horizontal load at different tire pressures, a horizontal linear unit and a multicomponent force measuring device were installed in a materials testing machine with 50kN.
* Clutch disc test stand - on this test stand, the clutch disc is tested in its vehicle fitting position, and different characteristic values (characteristic curve of the pre- and main damper, partial loop, clutch facing spring characteristic, non-parallelism, thickness of the clutch disc, drag moment) are determined.
* Testing device for disc brake linings - disc brake linings are one of the most important parts of a wheel brake.
In order to evaluate the quality of these linings, the variation of the lining thickness is determined by applying a one-dimensional compressive load in direction of the friction surface normal of the disc brake linings. Request a free brochure from Zwick Testing Machines ...
