INSTRON VHS 35/50-20
High strain rate system VHS 35/50-20: ±35 kN, up to 20 m/s.
INSTRON VHS 35/50-20
The Instron VHS 35/50-20 is a servohydraulic VHS-series system for testing materials and components at high strain rates, where material behaviour differs markedly from static loading. It is used for failure and crash research and for weight optimisation.
