ElectroForce™ Apex 1 Instrument
Manufacturer: TA Instruments – a division of Waters Corporation
SKU: ElectroForce Apex 1
Description
The ElectroForce Apex 1 Instrument is a mechanical testing system manufactured by TA Instruments. It is designed for material characterization, enabling the execution of monotonic tensile tests and fatigue studies. The instrument operates across a frequency spectrum from 0.00001 Hz to 100 Hz. Its dynamic force measurement capability reaches ±1000 N, while static or RMS force is rated at ±710 N. Linear velocity can be adjusted from 0.05 micrometers per second up to 2.5 meters per second. Utilizing linear motor technology, the system provides a stroke length of 100 mm, suitable for testing various materials such as polymers and composites. Features include automated control tuning and data acquisition, intended to streamline operation and minimize setup complexity. A high-precision displacement sensor offers resolution down to 1 nanometer. The instrument is available in multiple configurations: axial tabletop, axial floor-standing, and axial-torsional floor-standing. It can be integrated with environmental chambers, grips, and specialized sensors to replicate specific testing conditions.
