Introduction
The PASCO Materials Testing Machine is a device for mea-
suring force and displacement for various materials as the
materials are stretched, compressed, sheared, or bent. The
Materials Testing Machine has a built-in load cell (strain
gauge transducer) capable of measuring up to 7100 newtons
(N) of force (1600 pounds), and an optical encoder module
that measures displacement of the load bar. A crank-and-gear
system raises or lowers the load bar on two leadscrews (also
known as
power
screws or
translation
screws). Force data
from the load cell and displacement data from the encoder
module can be recorded, displayed, and analyzed by a
PASCO Interface with PASCO Data Collection Software.
The sensor cable from the Materials Testing Machine con-
nects to a PASPORT input port. (See the PASCO catalog or
web site at www.pasco.com for more information about
PASCO interfaces and data collection software.)
