Four-Column Long Stroke Compression Testing Machine – 3000 kN

Four-Column Long Stroke Compression Testing Machine – 3000 kN

Manufactured by 3R Industries

Designed for civil engineering testing labs, this Four-Column Long Stroke Compression Test Machine enables testing on large parts or blocks, while delivering superb ergonomics, stability, and load distribution.

This QC/LC frame (Four Columns / Long Stroke) features a cylinder with 200mm strike, removing the need to use spacers, so you can maximise both lab time and productivity.

It’s designed in compliance with European standards and has a testing force of 3000 kN (2000 kN and 4000 kN models are also available).

Benefits

  • Fully machined 4-column frame, controlled with foot meter.
  • Ideal for civil engineering labs needing to perform tests on both cylinders and blocks.
  • Doesn’t require the use of spacers, which are heavy and often difficult to centre.
  • No adjustment required or time loss when switching from one test to another.
  • Workstation ergonomics have been carefully designed by confining the test chamber with stainless steel protective cheeks.
  • Transparent guarding enclosing the test area.
  • Rotating chute to guide debris toward a bucket placed at the foot of the machine, again saving time.
  • Spherical seat in treated steel coated with Teflon for optimal load distribution.
  • Treated steel platens – Hardness ≥ 600 HV30.
  • Test chamber height: 340 mm.
  • The height of the lower platen (980 mm) provides the user with optimum working comfort, limiting back problems.
  • Cylinder: Low-friction composite seal and bronze guidance, stroke 200 mm.
  • Mechanical centering device for quick and precise specimen positioning.
  • Stainless steel protective grid with electrical safety detector.
  • Base designed for easy handling with forklift, so you can easily move the instrument from A to B.
