INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the MTL-110 Force Tester.
The MTL-110 manual tester is designed for basic
tension or compression force testing applications.
The MTL-110 has a force capacity of 110lbf (500N).
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Rotating the lever arm moves the rack and pinion
assembly 3" (76mm) per revolution. The MTL-110
has a full 6" (152mm) stroke.
A DFC or DFG Force Gage mounts to the gage mounting
plate on the rack assembly. The force gage measures
the load as the rack assembly moves in either direction.
The top test fixture arm is used to affix the test
fixture. This arm has an adjustable plate to help
ensure proper axial loading on the sample and on the
force gage’s load cell sensor.
A locking hub is used to prevent backlash during testing.
The MTL-110 may be fitted with the optional digital
scale assembly (p/n MTL-SCALE) for high resolution
deflection measurements.
SETUP FOR USE
Locate the MTL-110 tester where there is sufficient
clearance for testing and moving the lever arm.
You may permanently secure the base to the work
bench using flat head screws. Use the four corner
hole locations to secure to your work bench if
desired. Remove the hole plugs to reveal the 0.25"
clearance holes.
