Series TS Force Measurement Test Stands
Thanks!
Thank you for purchasing a Mark-10 Series TS Force Measurement
Test Stand. We are confident that you will get many years of service
from this product.
Series TS Force Measurement Test Stands can be used in any number
of compression and tension testing applications. To maintain smooth
mechanical functioning of your test stand, avoid repetitive overloads
and shock loads.
We hope that this User’s Guide will provide a comprehensive explanation of the test stand’s operation and sufficient detail on its specifications. However, if you have any questions or concerns our technical
support and engineering teams will be eager to help you.
Thank you again for your purchase and happy testing!

UNP ACKING AND SETTING-UP
1. Carefully unpack the stand and inspect for any damage. Check to make
sure that you have received a complete test stand with all accessories – see
the “List of included items” section below.
2. Install the loading lever on Models TSA750, TSA750H and TSB100. The
position of the loading lever can be adjusted as required – see the
“Operation” section for your particular model. No assembly is required for
Models TSC1000 and TSC1000H.
3. Place the stand on a firm, flat and level working surface free from vibration
to ensure accurate readings. It is recommended that the test stand be secured to a work bench – see the “Operation” section for your particular
model.

OPERATION
1. Mount the test stand to a firm, flat, and level working surface for maximum
safety and accuracy using four 5/16 screws (not included). Use the included
mounting hole drill template to accurately drill the holes. Testing can take
place without securing the test stand in such a manner, however, it is
strongly recommended that the stand be secured, especially for large forces.
2. Install a force gauge onto the gauge plate with four thumb screws. Mark-10
force gauges mount directly to the stand without adapters.
3. Install any needed attachments, including grips, adapters, and other materials necessary for your test sample. Make sure these items are set up in a
secure and safe manner.
4. Zero out the force gauge, then begin the test by turning the handwheel clockwise for compression or counter-clockwise for tension.
The loading lever can be adjusted to allow for ease of operation. Reposition the
loading lever by removing the knob and realigning the lever pin in the mounting
hub. Move the loading lever clockwise for compression, counter-clockwise for
tension.
The rack brake can be set by loosening the wing nut, positioning the rack to the
desired location and re-tightening the wing nut.
The clearance on the rack can be set by adjusting the four set screws using the
tools provided.
The travel stops can be adjusted in 0.5” [12.7 mm] increments along the rack by
moving the blocks to the desired location and tightening two screws. Fine adjustments can be made using adjusting screws on the housing and locking the jam
nuts.
Note: To maintain smooth functioning of the stand, avoid overloads and repetitive shock loads.
Optional Equipment
Digital Travel Display Kit – for accurate position indication
This position indicator covers 6” of travel per setting with a 5-digit display
(0.0005” resolution) and a computer interface for automated data collection. It
may be easily installed by the user.
