Preface

Before You Begin

Safety first!

Other MTS manuals

Before you attempt to use your MTS product or system, read and understand the Safety manual and any other safety information provided with your system. Improper installation, operation, or maintenance of MTS equipment in your test facility can result in hazardous conditions that can cause severe personal injury or death and damage to your equipment and specimen. Again, read and understand the safety information provided with your system before you continue. It is very important that you remain aware of hazards that apply to your system.

In addition to this manual, you may receive additional MTS manuals in paper or electronic form.

If you have purchased a test system, it may include an MTS System Documentation CD. This CD contains an electronic copy of the MTS manuals that pertain to your test system, including hydraulic and mechanical component manuals, assembly drawings and parts lists, and operation and preventive maintenance manuals. Controller and application software manuals are typically included on the software CD distribution disc(s).

Introduction

Load Unit: Overview

The Load Unit is the primary structure for most materials testing. It is a standalone testing unit. The load unit consists of the load frame plus additional parts, such as hydraulic crosshead lifts and control modules. Load units come in different sizes and shapes. The following illustration shows typical load units with common accessories.

The Load Units are designed for testing materials. They can perform tension and compression tests, fatigue and fracture mechanics tests, as well as other tests. MTS manufactures a variety of grips, mounting fixtures, test area guards, and environmental chambers that can be used with the load unit.

Force

The load frame is the basic structure which provides the reaction mass for the force train. The base of the load frame is one end of the reaction mass and the crosshead is the other end of the reaction mass. Installing a specimen and other fixtures or components between the load unit base and the crosshead create a force train.

The load frame and the other hydraulic components mounted to it collectively create the load unit. The base houses the actuators, servovalves, and hydraulic manifold. The crosshead is mounted above the base by two columns. A control panel lets you operate the crosshead lifts, locks, and grips to assist in specimen installation procedures.

The crosshead can be positioned anywhere along the load frame columns. It is moved along the column with hydraulic lifts. When the crosshead is in an appropriate test position, it is hydraulically clamped to that position. This lets you change the load unit to test specimens of different lengths.

The Series 298 Actuator Manifold (also called a hydraulic service manifold or HSM) acts as the hydraulic interface between the HPU and the components mounted to the manifold (actuator, servovalves, and accumulators) of the load unit. It contains the required hydraulic porting and plumbing to accommodate the hydraulic components. The manifold can also control the hydraulic pressure to the load unit.

The Series 244 Actuators can be located in the middle of the load unit base or crosshead. It is a hydraulically powered piston that applies displacement of (or force into) a specimen. It can apply equal power in tension and compression. One end of the test specimen is installed into a fixture which is mounted to the end of the actuator rod.

The Series 252 Servovalves regulates the direction and flow of the hydraulic fluid to and from a hydraulic actuator. The servovalve responds to the polarity and magnitude of the command signal generated by the controller.

The Series 111 Accumulators suppress line-pressure fluctuations. The load unit includes a pressure-line accumulator to provide fluid storage so a constant line pressure can be maintained at the servovalves for maximum performance. The return-line accumulator minimizes return-line pressure fluctuations.

The load unit can be configured for several pressure configurations. The free low configuration passes the hydraulic pressure from the HPU (or hydraulic service manifold) through the manifold to the hydraulic components. The hydraulic pressure options include on/off control, high/low/off control, and high/low/off control with a proportional valve to ramp the pressure transitions.

The load unit includes a force transducer and an LVDT.

The force transducer (also called load cell or force sensor) measures the amount of tension or compression and rotational torque applied to it. It has four strain gages that form a balanced Wheatstone bridge. When forces are applied to the bridge, it becomes unbalanced and produces an electrical signal that is proportional to the force applied to it. The force transducer is a resistive device and requires a DC conditioner to process the axial signal from the Wheatstone bridge.

318 Load Unit

Introduction

19

LVDT

Grip Controls

The LVDT measures the linear actuator’s travel. The LVDT consists of a transformer with one primary and two secondary coils wound on a common cylinder. The coil is stationary inside the actuator. A core is attached to the piston rod of the actuator. As it moves inside the coil, it produces an electrical signal that represents the position of the piston rod. The phase of the signal indicates the direction the actuator rod is moving. An LVDT requires an AC conditioner to process the signal.

The grip controls provide independent clamping control of the upper and lower grips. The maximum pressure for the grip controls can be set up to 69 MPa (10,000 psi). The pressure is factory set to 20 MPa (3000 psi); 45 MPa (6500 psi); or 69 MPa (10,000 psi) to accommodate a variety of grips manufactured by MTS Systems Corporation. A front panel control allows the grip pressure to be adjusted within the factory setting. A rate control sets how fast the grips open and close.

Stiffness Data Stiffness is a way to measure the deflection of the force train. Deflection rates can vary 20%, depending on the actuator and force transducer you use.

318 Load Unit

Introduction

21

For the most accurate high frequency test results, use a load unit with a fatigue rating that is larger than its actuator’s force rating.

C

D

B

A

For example, a Model 318.25 Load Unit with a 55 kip fatigue rating and a 22 kip actuator will have smaller deflections than a Model 318.10 Load Unit with a 22 kip fatigue rating and a 22 kip actuator.

Spring rates are determined at each load unit’s full fatigue rating with its crosshead raised 1270 mm (50 in.) above the baseplate.

The Stiffness Graph shows how stiffness is affected when the height of the crosshead is changed.
