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
Timer Box
- Compact and easy to use
- Easy-to-read, 0.5" (1 cm) LCD timer display is set to time in increments of 1/10 of a minute
- Timer box operating temperature range 32° - 150° F (0° - 70° C)
- Timer box has universal input voltage from 85-265 VAC (50/60 Hz)
- Optional thermocouple accessory records failure temperature
