SYNTECH 400 Medium-Capacity Electromechanical Testing Machine – 400 kN

SYNTECH 400 Medium-Capacity Electromechanical Testing Machine – 400 kN

Manufactured by 3R Industries

Engineered for medium-capacity testing applications up to 400 kN, this Electromechanical Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is suited for construction materials, metals, reinforced plastics, and structural assemblies.

With four guide columns, two preloaded ball screws, and the RIGI-DRIVE II transmission, it delivers exceptional stiffness (~750 kN/mm) and precision. It also has a large working area for complex test set-ups.

Benefits

  • Medium-capacity tensile testing with exceptional rigidity.
  • Conical gearboxes and preloaded gear sets deliver backlash-free force transmission with minimal maintenance.
  • Brushless servo motor with integrated brake; speed range 0.005 µm/min to ~465 mm/min; capable of 1 Hz cycling at 1 mm amplitude.
  • Force channel resolution of 10 million counts with Class 1/0.5 accuracy, position accuracy Class 0.2.
  • Large working space — Crosshead travel ~1555 mm (standard) or 1900 mm (extended); test width ~750 mm; working area height ~540 mm. Option to go larger if needed.
  • Machine-tool grade bearings, sealed and greased for life, stainless-steel and polycarbonate safety enclosures; LED front lighting.
  • Powerful supply — 400 V three-phase; power consumption ~3.55 kW.
  • Tensile tester calibration service available.
  • Choose from a wide range of Universal Testing Machine Accessories, including grips, environmental chambers, and extensometers.
  • A full range of load cells from 1N up to the capacity of the frame are available.

Software

This tensile tester comes supplied with comprehensive and user-friendly Synt-X software, enabling operators to move quickly from setup to execution, while ensuring consistency and repeatability. With features like pre-configuration of products and specimens, and automatic generation of customised test reports, it helps users focus on their tests by reducing setup time and minimise operator errors.

The Synt-X test control software is designed, developed, and maintained in-house by 3R’s engineering team, guaranteeing long-term compatibility and continuous improvement for routine production testing, advanced research, and standard-compliant mechanical tests.
