The Instron 5944 mechanical testing system can perform tensile, compression, flexure, peel, tear, cyclic, and bend tests on a variety of materials, such as medical devices, biomaterials, textiles, elastomers, food, microelectronics, wire, paper, and plastic film. It features +/-0.5% load measurement accuracy with data acquisition rate option up to 2.5 kHz simultaneously on load, extension, and strain channels. It is ideal for low-force and low-capacity testing up to 2 kN. Tension and compression grips can be added to the mechanical testing device according to user need.
