5540 Series Single Column Testing Systems

The 5540 Series Single Column Systems are ideal for tests requiring less than 2 kN force and where lab space is limited. The single column design provides a small footprint and easy access to the test area from three sides. These systems can be fitted with a wide range of grips and fixtures for tension, compression, bending and component testing. Additional accessories include extensometers for strain measurement and environmental chambers for high or low temperature tests.
