INSTRON VHS 40/50-20
High strain rate system VHS 40/50-20: ±40 kN, up to 20 m/s.
INSTRON VHS 40/50-20
The Instron VHS 40/50-20 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.
