8803 Servohydraulic Fatigue Testing System0 pages

8803 Servohydraulic Fatigue Testing System Up to 500 kN
The Instron 8803 is a versatile servohydraulic fatigue testing system that performs static and dynamic tests on materials and
components up to 500 kN. 8803 systems provide complete testing solutions to satisfy the needs of advanced materials
and component testing, and are ideally suited for fatigue testing and fracture mechanics. With a large number of configurations
and options, including lower t-slot tables, the 8803 makes an ideal platform for any laboratory.

Controller and Software
The Instron 8803 is supplied with a digital 8800 controller that
provides full system control including features such as automatic loop
tuning, amplitude control specimen protect, 19-bit resolution across
the full range of transducers, and adaptive control technology. It also
allows access to WaveMatrix™ Dynamic Testing Software, Bluehill®
Software for static tests, and other application specific software, such
as the Low Cycle Fatigue or Fracture Mechanics suite.
