2Innovative Cylinder-Centric Design

Leading-Edge Ergonomics

The MTS Landmark 200 Hz Elastomer Test
System employs a cylinder-centric load
frame design that delivers superior
stiffness, alignment and ease-ofmaintenance, resulting in more efficient
operation and minimal downtime over thelife of the system.

The MTS Landmark 200 Hz Elastomer Test
System features a user-friendly testing
environment that emphasizes operator
well-being and simplifies test setup andoperation. This enables operators to safely
and reliably perform more tests with fewer
damaged or misaligned specimens.

The cylinder-centric design integrates
fatigue-rated MTS actuators directly into acast steel crossbeam to comprise an
Integrated Actuator Beam. This minimizes
the number of required joints, yielding aframe that exhibits high axial and lateral
stiffness and superior reliability. Easy accessto both sides of the cylinder facilitates
quick and efficient servicing.

MTS Landmark controls are designed tokeep operators focused on the test space
while setting up tests. Conveniently locatedto eliminate any need for awkward bending
and long reaching, they feature easy-to-turnhandles and clear, universally understoodlabeling.

Precision-machined connections between
the actuator cylinder and end caps
guarantee extremely tight and consistentalignment over the life of the system,
adding to the overall reliability of theactuator and eliminating the need forrealignment after periodic maintenance.
DIRECT ACT U AT O R PO RT ING

Direct mounting and porting of servovalveson the Integrated Actuator Beam minimizepressure loss for more efficient delivery of
hydraulic power. A single-plane interface
provides for high-integrity connections to a
new family of high-performance hydraulicservice manifolds.

MTS Landmark Systems provide a standard
level of safety that exceeds the guidelines of
CE and other organizations:» Automated Crosshead Positioning
provides tight control of crosshead
lifting and lowering to ensure safe
operation and reduce test setup time.
» An Actuator Velocity Limiting Circuit
restricts the actuator’s speed as it moves
into test position, preventing unexpectedmotion that could injure operators.
» Positive Specimen Gripping for both theupper and lower grips ensures thatspecimens are attached securely andwon’t slip during testing.

MTS Landmark Systems set a new standard
for workspace accessibility and convenience:» The Model 370.10 load frame standfeatures a wide footprint, enabling
operators to install fixtures andspecimens while maintaining anergonomic body position.
» The compact system handset features aclear test status display, precisioncontrols for fine actuator positioning
and an ergonomic design for bothright- and left-handed operators.
