Product Overview
Shear Stand
- Rugged construction, capable of withstanding the abuse of the production environment
- Two component design allows the switch unit to be separated from the timer control box
- High temperature, 8' long (2.5m) cable interfaces the two components
- Designed to use standard, 2" x 3" (50mm x 75mm) format, test panels
- Capable of holding panels of various thicknesses, up to 1/4" (6mm)
- Mechanical switches can be calibrated to trip when using weights from 100 to 1,000 grams
- Adjustable feet allow the user to level the testing plane
- Panel rack is marked for the standard 178° back tilt, as specified by most shear test methods
- Adjustable angle panel rack allows the user to easily change the test angle from 178° to 90°
- Shear stand operating temperature range 20° - 400° F (-6° - 204° C)
- Shears are designed to be used with weights from 100gr to 1000gr
- Any weight which is larger than the 1000gr requires the S-EXT(Shear Extension) accessory
- The largest weight that can be safely used with the shear stand is 3000gr
Oven
- 3 pattern, 30 step programmable controller, capable of performing SAFT ramped temperature testing
- Controller is capable of maintaining up to 10 different programs
- Maximum oven operating temperature of 500°F (260°C)
- Temperature control accuracy of oven ± 0.5°F at 410°F (1°C at 210°C)
- Temperature distribution accuracy of oven ± 1.5°F at 500°F (2.8°C at 260°C)
- Oven is capable of achieving a temperature rise of 2°F (1°C) per minute (dependent on thermal mass)
- The switch unit of the 8 Bank Shear fills approximately 50% of the interior volume in the oven
- Stainless steel interior construction of the oven
- Forced-air circulation type oven (convection)
- Vent hole in oven for accessory access
- Oven includes 2 stainless steel shelves with 12 possible positions
- Viewing window in the door
- Easy-open oven door latch minimizes disruption of testing
- Over-temperature protection and other safety features designed into oven electronics
- Standard oven input voltage of 220 VAC (50/60 Hz)
- Timer controls are mounted and wired permanently into the face
EZ Shear
- EZ Shear software is a very simple and intuitive way to get more out of your testing equipment. It provides test data results in report-ready format. This application requires an external PC. (See more information about the EZ-Shear product)

Methods
Some of the more popular test methods that this device is capable of performing.
- ASTM: D 4498
Combining our proven SS-HT-8 Shear Adhesion tester with our S-O-8 Shear Oven in one convenient package is the SS-OSI-8 Integrated 8 Bank Shear and Oven. The timer module is built into the face plate for ease of use and convenience. The oven thermocouple is directly accessed by the timer module for complete integration.
