SYNTAX 100 High-Stiffness Universal Testing Machine – 100 kN
Manufactured by 3R Industries
The SYNTAX 100 High-Stiffness Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is built for demanding creep, cyclic, and static tests on fasteners, metals, reinforced plastics, and structural components. It can achieve up to 100 kN force capacity and delivers a force accuracy of ±0.5 %.
The wide crosshead speed range of 0.05 µm/s to ~800 mm/min provides the flexibility to perform tests at varying strain rates, while the rigid dual-column frame and servo-controlled drive deliver highly repeatable results across a wide load range.

Benefits
- Overview-column frame and servo-controlled drive deliver repeatable results across a wide load range.
- Axial stiffness ≈150 kN/mm due to dual columns and preloaded ball screws.
- Precision planetary gearbox with reinforced belt and preloaded bearings ensures precise force application.
- 10 million-count force resolution.
- Accuracy to ISO 7500-1. Class 1/0.5 compliance; position accuracy Class 0.2 (ISO 9513).
- Large travel — crosshead travel of ~1200 mm and test width of 450 mm to support a wide range of fixtures. Option to go larger if needed.
- Energy-efficient — operates from a single-phase 230 V supply (~2,150 W consumption), reducing your operational costs and carbon footprint.
- 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.
