Reliability and versatility

Acquati’s AG Series electronic dynamometers are designed to test materials such as paper, board, leather, plastics, wood, textiles, metals and composites. Their high accuracy makes them ideal for:

  • Tensile tests
  • Compression tests
  • Flexural/bending tests
  • Shear tests
  • Load/elongation cycles
    Thanks to a robust, modular design, they can be used in both laboratory and industrial settings, in full compliance with international standards (AFNOR, ASTM, ISO, EN, UNI, etc.).

Structure, technology and functions

Each machine consists of a cast-iron base with steel columns and a crosshead driven by recirculating ball screws for smooth, precise movements. It includes a movable crosshead with mounts for grips and interchangeable load cells.
Main functions are managed by:

  • Touch-screen console and membrane keypad
  • Preset and customizable programs
  • Backlit graphical displays
  • Wide speed range adjustable from 0.001 to 1000 mm/min
  • Storage and recall of test cycles
  • RS232 or Ethernet interface for PC connection
  • Windows-compatible software with Excel data export
