PERFORMING A TEST
Apply tension or compressive force on your sample by rotating the
handwheel. As you rotate the handwheel, the worm gear assembly will
move up or down. Rotating the handwheel clockwise will move the gear
upward (compression) while moving counter-clockwise will move the
gear downward (tensile).
HORIZONTAL OPERATION
You may fit the MTH-550 with optional mounting legs (p/n MLX-26030).
This allows you to position the test frame horizontally on your work surface.
