Screw the clamp with the short threaded end into the top of
the load cell, and put the other clamp through the hole in the
load bar. Use the sample nut to secure the clamp to the load
bar.
Attach the Safety Shields
Attach the Velcro® hook material on the two safety shields
to the Velcro® loop material on the front and back of the
Load Bar. Adjust the position if needed.
MTS Clevis Clip (ME-8245)
The Materials Testing System Clevis Clip is designed to ten-
sile test a wide variety of samples that have hooked ends or
through holes. The diameter of each clevis pin is 0.187 in
(0.47 cm). Each pin contains a pair of small, spring-loaded
spheres near its end to keep the pin from slipping out of the
clip.
The Clevis Clip with the longer threaded section is mounted
in the Load Bar of the Materials Testing Machine, and the
Clevis Clip with the shorter threaded section and the hex nut
is mounted in the top of the Load Cell.
Remember to attach the two safety shields to the Load Bar.
MTS 10 – 32 Adapter (ME-8246)
There are several devices used in material testing that hold
materials in place and have a threaded 10 - 32 hole designed
for mounting the device on a materials tester, such as the
Materials Testing System. The Materials 10 - 32 Adapter is
designed to connect devices with a threaded 10 - 32 hole to
the Load Bar and Load Cell of the Materials Testing
Machine.
The 10 - 32 Adapter with the longer larger diameter threaded
section is mounted in the Load Bar of the Materials Testing
Machine, and the 10 - 32 Adapter with the shorter threaded
section and the hex nut is mounted in the top of the Load
Cell.
MTS Compression Accessory (ME-8247)
The Materials Compression Accessory is designed to work
with the Materials Testing Machine to compress samples.
The Compression Accessory consists of two one inch (2.54
cm) diameter platforms that provide a sturdy base for com-
pression samples.
The Materials Compression Accessory includes twenty
Materials Compression Samples (ME-8248). The polyeth-
ylene cylinders are approximately 0.5 in (1.3 cm) in diameter
and 0.75 in (2 cm) long.
MTS Four-point Load Anvil (ME-8249)
The Materials Four-point Load Anvil extends the capabili-
ties of the Materials Bending Accessory. When used with the
Bending Accessory and the Materials Testing Machine, data
