MTH · Manual test frame
Force and materials testing
Force and test systems measure how much force a part withstands or applies —tension, compression, peel, bending and stress-strain— to ensure the quality and durability of materials, springs, gaskets and assemblies.
The MTH is a high-capacity manual frame, operated by a handwheel with a high-resolution worm gear (0.75 mm per turn) for fine positioning.
