The ValuTest-L test stand is a lever-operated test stand featuring a crosshead which is fixed to a coarse leadscrew.
The crosshead is then roughly positioned to the desired height. A rack-and-pinion, with a bracket to hold a force gauge, is attached to the crosshead and its movement is controlled by a lever up to a maximum of 47mm. Designed to apply basic tensile and compressive forces up to 500 N (110 lbf).
It is a low-cost test stand designed for elementary tests. Not recommended for applications requiring precise measurement of crosshead movement.
