Shore Western manufactures load frames to meet any requirement. Designed to react the full force of your test application the result is an extremely rigid, backlash-free test system that produces repeatable and reliable results. Shore Western’s standard line of load frames includes tabletop and freestanding two and four column units designed for an infinite fatigue life and offer the highest quality of workmanship, providing years of performance. Typical applications include cyclic materials testing, high-frequency fatigue testing and general purpose precision force applications.
Features include:
-
Modular design simplifies system configuration and ensures consistent test results.
-
Standard 3000 psi (207 bar) operating pressure.
-
Infinitely adjustable crosshead height capability.
Shore Western seal and bearing designs offer
durability, performance and long life.
Shore Western offers a variety of load frame models varying
from 1 KIP (4.4 kN) models to huge 1,000 KIP (4,448 kN)
force rated units. Our bi-axial load frames offer both tension
and compression as well as torsional capability. Combined
with an SC6000 control system they create a complete Material
Test System. Options include crossheads with hydraulic lifts
and locks and we can also supply a wide variety of grips,
fixtures, load cells and extensometers.
301
Series Table Top Load Frames
301 Series load frames are designed specifically to provide
fatigue or compression/ tension test capability, delivering
up to 10,000 lbs. (44.48 kN) force in only 1.7 sq. ft. (.158
sq. m) of bench space. The 301 Series Load Frame utilizes
a 2-column symmetrical construction with fixed-platen, moveable
crosshead configuration. These units are cost effective
replacements for the MTS 858 load frames.

Series Load Frames
302
Series Load Frames
302 Series Load Frames are available in standard models
ranging from 22 KIP (98 kN) through 110 KIP (489 kN) units
using a 2-column symmetrical construction with fixed-platen,
moveable crosshead configurations. These units are cost
effective replacements for the MTS 318 load frames.
302
Series Load Frames
304
Series Load Frames
304 Series Load Frames are available in standard models
ranging from 110 KIP (489 kN) through 550 KIP (2,447 kN)
with larger units designed and built to meet specific applications.
The 304 Series incorporates a 4-column symmetrical construction
with fixed-platen, moveable crosshead configurations. These
units are cost effective replacements for the MTS 311 load
frames.
304
Series Load Frames
306
Series Load Frames
306 Series Axial/Torsional Load Frames are designed to perform
static and dynamic bi-axial materials testing. The 306 Series
Load Frames are available in four standard force-torque
configurations; 10/5,000, 20/10,000, 50/20,000, and 100/50,000
KIP/lbf-in (22.2/565, 44.5/1130, 88.9/2260 and 222.4/5649
kN/N-m) with other force combinations available on special
order. The 306 Series incorporates a 2-column symmetrical
construction with fixed-platen, moveable crosshead configurations.
306
Series Load Frames
322 Series Load Tables
322 Series Load Tables increase your test configuration
ability by using a T-slot table base and offering the same
performance as the 302, 304 and 306 Series Load Frames.
The 322 Series incorporates same symmetrical column construction
and moveable crosshead configurations as the 302, 304 and
306 Series Load Frames. These units are cost effective replacements
for the MTS 322 load frames.
Accessories
Shore Western can supply a wide variety of hydraulic power
units, service manifolds, grips, fixtures, load cells and
extensometers to customize your testing system.
