INSTRON 68SC-5

INSTRON 68SC-5

The 68SC-5 is a single-column table-top model of the 6800 Series for tensile, compression, flexure, peel, puncture and friction tests up to 5 kN. The compact frame suits laboratories with limited space and is available in standard and extra-height versions.

Key features

- Auto Positioning for an identical starting position in every test
- Specimen Protect: prevents excessive force on the specimen during setup
- Data acquisition up to 5000 Hz, accuracy ±0.5 % of reading down to 1/1000 of load cell capacity
- Compatible with AVE 3, the torsion add-on and automation
- Bluehill Universal software
