DX Compression-Only Models

Industrial Series DX Compression-Only Models are designed for
high-capacity compression, bend/flex, and shear testing. Featuring
a single footprint, these frames are available in capacities from
150 - 600 kN (33,750 - 135,000 lbf). Understanding the critical
importance of operator safety, the Instron® DX Models are constructed
of high-quality materials, components, and craftsmanship.

Features and Benefits
• Single compression-only test space design is ideal for
t compression testing on metals, concrete, and soil specimens
• Special fixtures available for stabilometer and moisture
t exudation testing
• Load frame, hydraulic power supply, and controller combined in
t a single package saves valuable lab floor space while providing a
t protective environment for hydraulic and electrical components
• Easy-to-adjust upper crosshead assembly facilitates changing
t fixtures and specimens
• Convenient working height and ergonomic controls increase
t operator productivity and comfort
• Productivity panel with multiple function keys and displays allows
t the operator to perform common testing functions and view key
t test information without returning to the computer
• Powerful, yet user-friendly, materials testing software provides
t repeatable and reproducible results for simple to sophisticated
t testing requirements
• Variable pressure power supply provides pressure on demand,
t reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating
t the need for water cooling
• Available capacities:
t • 150 kN (33,750 lbf)
t • 300 kN (67,500 lbf)
t • 600 kN (135,000 lbf)
