Tension and compression testing are used to measure how a material reacts to push and pull forces. It’s a common way to determine a material’s mechanical properties, which are important for designing ...

Pasta platforms, egg-citing supports, and curious cups! Dr. Rob and the Crew “build” an understanding of the science of Structural Forces, including compression, shear, tension, and torsion! STEM ...

This video shows Mecmesin’s CFG+, a pocket-sized, lightweight entry level force gauge designed for elementary tension and compression measurements. The CFG+ provides a simple, digital to traditional ...

HBK has added an IO-Link interface option to its U9C (tension and compression, right) and C9C (compression only, below left) force sensors. Described as miniature by the company, versions of the ...

Forces act on materials all the time - even if a material appears stationary it still has a force acting on it. There are five terms used to describe what type of force can act on a material: Often ...

Now available from HBM is the new U3 load cell, specifically designed for tensile and compressive forces. Designed to address the problem of lateral forces, which if great enough, can damage or even ...

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) invited Mecmesin to bid for a project to replace its outdated ‘Stevens’ test machine which was used to measure the force required to ‘squash’ a tennis ball.
