SYNTAX 5 Compact Universal Testing Machine – 5 kN








Manufactured by 3R Industries
Designed and manufactured in France, the SYNTAX 5 single column Universal Testing Machine (UTM) has a compact footprint for easy installation on standard laboratory benchtops.
It’s suitable for precision testing of low-force and soft materials, such as adhesives, biomedical specimens, elastomers, plastics, and textiles.
The machine can achieve up to 5 kN force capacity and has a highly rigid load frame that provides high axial stiffness (~5 kN/mm) and minimal frame deflection, ensurng reliable strain measurement
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 automatic generation of customised test reports and pre-configuration of products and specimens, 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.
The SYNTAX 5 compact material testing machine offers precise control and measurement for a wide range of tests in industries such as plastics and composites, paper and packaging, and textiles. Tests that can be performed on this instrument include:
