Description

电机控制动三轴试验系统

The robust, functional design of the apparatus coincides with the well-proven measurement andcontrol electronics which are assisted by a menu-driven system for monitoring and performing complex analyses. Exchangeable, pre-calibrated measuring sensors guarantee high accuracy over a wide measuring range.


The load frame could be equipped with a large range of triaxial cells with different sample sizes and cell pressures, Pressure controlling systems, transducers, controller and dedicated software to run static and cyclic Triaxial tests per as the required standard.


The high quality electromechanical closed-loop controlled triaxial load frames are characterized by their high features for static and cyclic automatic loading possibilities. This high stiffness high quality load frame is useful for many applications in geotechnical testing and comes with different load capacities and frequencies.The Wide column spacing enables to accommodate large cells even with environmental chambers and furnaces and has higher load capacity than table top version.


It comes with two different models:

• Floor type combined static and cyclic load upto 25kN-10Hz

• Twin type load frame (independent cyclicstatic actuators) up to 150kN static load and10kN-10Hz cyclic load.


This Twin solution is for the time which a need of a high static load in combination with standard cyclic load is required for different tests in laboratory and in one frame. Per as several advantages of the electromechanical system to Hydraulic loading frames, this series of machines can meet most of test requirements in the lab.GEOsys software in combination with other components and this loading frame performs all your triaxial tests automatically and without operator assistance during the test period.

A) Floor Type With Single Actuator

In this version the load applies from bottom and the control cabinet is also located at bottom of the device and total weight of the system makes it also resistance against extra vibration caused by cyclic actuator. It is easy to install and use the loading system in combination with dynamic controller which has different models, triaxial cell, transducers,pressure volume controllers and GEOsys software which enables you not only to run the load frame but also, to run different test applications which is programmed and would be delivered per as your test requirements.

B) Twin Type Load Frame (Independent cyclic- Static Actuators)

In this series of laod frames, the static load is applied from bottom and has its own servomotor and controlling unit and the cyclic actuator is placed on upper traverse and has dedicated dynamic controller to run all cyclic loads required for different applications. All connections are designed and manufactured to enable running the system in a smooth way even when the exchange of static to cyclic load is required.
