Product catalog summary
Overview
The ZwickRoell Vibrophore 25 is a high-frequency pulsator that combines dynamic and static material testing capabilities. It is designed for fatigue testing and can perform tensile, compression, pulsating, and alternating load tests.

Applications
The Vibrophore 25 is used for determining fatigue strength, fatigue life, and fatigue limit. It is suitable for testing components like connecting rods, crankshafts, chains, and threaded connectors, as well as standard metal specimens. It supports force, displacement, or strain-controlled tests and can operate under various environmental conditions.

Features
  • Stiff four-column load frame for static and dynamic testing.
  • High test frequencies for short test times and high throughput.
  • Low energy consumption due to resonance drive.
  • Easy installation without ancillary systems.
  • Maintenance-free with wear-free components.
  • Remote control with color display for machine setup and status monitoring.
  • testControl II electronics with 10kHz control frequency and 24-bit resolution.
  • Servo motor for accurate mean force control.
  • Pulse-width modulation for stability.
  • Wide range of standard tools and fixtures.

Product Information ZwickRoell Vibrophore 25 Range of applications The ZwickRoell Vibrophore represents the latest genera‐ tion of high-frequency pulsators, combining for the first time an electro-magnetically excited dynamic testing machine with a fully functional static materials testing machine. This is made possible by the 'two in one' function developed by ZwickRoell. Advantages and features • fully functional static and dynamic testing machine with stiff four-column load frame • high test-frequencies, giving short test times and high specimen throughput • easy to operate via testXpert III and testXpert Research test programs matched exactly to the testing situations • resonance drive has very low energy consumption (only around 2% of that of servo-hydraulic testing machines) • easy to install - no ancillary units or systems (e.g. hydraulics, coolant) needed • maintenance-free system - wear-free components • clamping table at convenient working height for oper‐ ator-friendly testing • remote control with color display showing measure‐ ment channels, machine and test status; also used for machine set-up • testControl II digital measurement and control elec‐ tronics with 10kHz control frequency and 24-bit reso‐ lution • continuously controlled servo motor for fast, accurate mean force control • pulse-width modulation for high control stability and low failure liability • easy test-frequency change simply by varying weights. • large range of standard tools and fixtures As well as being employed for quasi-static tensile and compression tests, Vibrophores are used in particular for determination of fatigue strength with regard to fatigue life and fatigue limit. This allows highly efficient fatigue testing, for example to DIN 50100 (S-N curve), with tensile, compression, pulsating and alternating loads. Other typical applications include fatigue tests on components (e.g. connecting rods, crankshafts, chains and threaded connectors) and standard metal speci‐ mens, together with fracture mechanics investigations on CT and SEB specimens, All tests can be force, displacement or strain-controlled, while with the addition of appropriate devices testing can also be carried out under various environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, aggressive media), toget
