MTS ELA STO MER TEST APPL ICATION SOF TWAREThe MTS Landmark 100 Hz Elastomer Test
System accommodates an array of application
software packages to help you automate
almost every standard or custom elastomer
test procedure. Designed specifically forcharacterizing the dynamic properties andfatigue behavior of elastomeric materials
and components, these tightly integrated
packages take advantage of the advanced
control, calibration, and characterization
capabilities inherent in the MTS Landmark
System to deliver highly accurate andrepeatable test results. Packages include:

Leading-Edge Ergonomics

The MTS Landmark 100 Hz Elastomer Test
System employs a cylinder-centric load frame
design that delivers superior stiffness,alignment and ease-of-maintenance,
resulting in more efficient operation andminimal downtime over the life of the system.

The MTS Landmark 100 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.

INTEGRAT E D A CT U AT O R B E A M

The cylinder-centric design integrates
fatigue-rated MTS actuators directly into
the crossbeam to comprise an IntegratedActuator Beam. This minimizes the numberof required joints, yielding a frame thatexhibits high axial and lateral stiffness andsuperior reliability. Easy access to bothsides of the cylinder facilitates quick andefficient servicing.
PIL OTED E ND - CA PS

Precision-machined connections between
the actuator cylinder and end caps guarantee
extremely tight and consistent alignment
over the life of the system, adding to theoverall reliability of the actuator andeliminating the need for realignment 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 ofhydraulic power. A single-plane interface
provides for high-integrity connections to a
new family of high-performance hydraulicservice manifolds.

INT U IT IVE , CE NT RA L IZ E D CO NT RO L S

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.
E NH A NCE D SA F E T Y F E AT U RE S

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.
