Dynamic Simple Shear with Confining Pressure


VJT2831 - Dynamic Simple Shear with Confining Pressure

Part Number : VJT2831-100
For prices: call +44 (0)118 945 3737 or Email us
The VJ Tech Dynamic Simple Shear Apparatus with Confining Pressure (DSS-C) utilises 2 electro mechanical dynamic actuators for applying the vertical and horizontal loads to the sample which is held under Pressure in an adapted Triaxial type Cell or a sample contained within Confining Rings and no Confining Pressure
The 2 electro mechanical dynamic actuators are controlled by the Dual Axis Dynamic Servo Controller (DSC3000MM) which is connected via Ethernet or USB to a PC. The vertical and horizontal displacements can be measured with either LSCT Transducers or Encoders which are part of the servo motors. The maximum range of travel in each axis is protected by limit switches and strain rate is easily set from the PC.
