Shearing testing machine S27 series

consolidationautomaticfor soil

The shear test on soil specimens is performed to measure the resistance to shearing of all those specimens subjected to an orthogonal pressure to the plane. The sample is placed between two porous stones and metal grids inside a sturdy metal box divided into two halves. Different versions of shear testing machines are available, from the basic version used for teaching purposes with vertical load application through calibrated weights and dial gauges, to the most advanced and high-performing shear testing machine with fully automatic vertical load application. Shear speed is applied by means of an electric motor and can be set or calculated automatically according to the consolidation obtained. Shearmec is an advanced system specifically designed to perform consolidation, direct and residual shear stages in a fully automated way. The system is based on a electromechanical system which along with a high-performance regulator guarantees an automatic application of a vertical load up to 10 kN, thus offering the unique possibility to reduce to the absolute minimum any form of manual intervention (no need of dead weights or level arms). Maximum horizontal force: up to 5 kN Maximum travel: 20 mm Shear speed: 0.00001 to 15.0000 mm/min Maximum vertical load: up to 10 kN Shearmec system includes: S277-21 Load Cell, electric, 5 kN capacity S277-22 Load Cell, electric, 10 kN capacity S336-11 Linear vertical transducer, 10 mm travel. S336-12 Linear horizontal transducer, 25 mm travel. S277-31.Firmware activating 4 connectors for basic data acquisition. Power supply: 230V 1ph 50-60Hz 200W Dimensions: 1030x400x580 mm Weight: 100 kg approx.
