INSTRON VHS 65/80-20
High strain rate system VHS 65/80-20: ±65 kN, up to 20 m/s.
INSTRON VHS 65/80-20
The Instron VHS 65/80-20 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.
