Product catalog summary
Application
The HA series load frames are designed for materials testing under dynamic loading, particularly for fatigue tests, fracture mechanics, and low-cycle fatigue. The testing actuator is mounted in the lower crosshead, and the load cell is on the upper crosshead, forming a classical servo-hydraulic testing machine.

Description of Operation
The 2-column load frames are supported on vibration-isolating leveling units to prevent force transmission to the floor. For critical tests, air-springs are recommended, offering a mounting frequency of 3-6 Hz. The frames have high axial and lateral stiffness, allowing for higher frequencies and specimen deformations. Alignment accuracy is +0.1 mm per meter, with plane-parallelity better than 0.03 mm per 100 mm.

Features
  • Four standard nominal ratings from 50 kN to 500 kN.
  • Recessed testing actuator for minimal piston-rod extension.
  • Convenient working height and integration capability for high-temperature devices.
  • Hard-chromed columns for precise guidance.
  • Hydraulic clamping and adjustment for easy positioning.
  • Integrated oil-sump for minor leakage collection.
  • Safety housing compliant with CE Machinery Directive.

Technical Data
The load frames have dynamic nominal forces ranging from 50 to 500 kN, with electro-hydraulic crosshead clamping and adjustment. The maximum height, width, and depth vary by model, with specific dimensions provided for each. Frame stiffness and suitable actuator stroke are also specified.

Accessories
  • Vibration-damping feet with a natural frequency of 3-6 Hz, available for different HA models.

Safety Device
Constructed with aluminum profile sections and Makrolon panels, enclosing the testing machine on all sides with an electrically monitored and interlocked safety door.

Servo-hydraulic load frames – HA series-1

Materials testing Product Information Servo-hydraulic load frames – HA series HA 100 on air springs with hydraulic wedge-grips Drawing: HA load frame Application With the testing actuator mounted in the lower cross‐ head and the load cell on the upper crosshead, the HA range of load frames represents the classical servo-hy‐ draulic testing machine as used for determining material properties under fatigue loads, e.g. S-N test (fatigue test), fracture mechanics, LCF (low-cycle fatigue). The frames also feature extremely precise alignment; Description of operation The 2-column load frames are designed for materials testing under dynamic loading in a closed force-flow. The frame is supported on vibration-isolating leveling units The frame is supported on vibration-isolating level‐ ing units so that no appreciable forces are transmitted to the floor during normal operation. Where tests or op‐ erating conditions are critical in nature, the use of op‐ tionally available air-springs is advisable; these offer a mounting frequency of approximately 3 - 6 Hz. The performance of the testing system is enhanced by the especially high axial and lateral stiffness of the HA load frames, enabling higher frequencies and specimen deformations, while high lateral forces which may occur in compression and flexure tests can be absorbed with‐ out difficulty. following installation of the testing actuator and load cell, alignment accuracy is +0.1 mm per meter separa‐ tion; at distances below 350mm the offset is constant at 0.05mm. Plane-parallelity is equal to or better than 0.03 mm per 100 mm. All fixtures are flange-mounted with a centering spigot, eliminating the need for retrospective alignment of the load string. Features • 4 standard nominal ratings from 50 kN to 500 kN • testing actuator recessed into lower crosshead to keep piston-rod extension as short as possible • convenient working height • particularly suitable for integration of a high-tempera‐ ture heating device • hard-chromed columns for precise guidance of upper crosshead • hydraulic clamping and adjustment for easy position‐ ing of upper crosshead • integrated oil-sump for collecting minor leakage • safety housing to comply with CE Machinery D
