  • Literature

Replaced by the 6800 Series in 2020, the 5940 single column and 5960 dual column universal testing systems were produced from 2010-2020 and were designed to perform tensile, compression, flexure/bend, peel, tear, shear, and cyclic tests. These table model testing machines were available in force capacities that range from 0.02 N (2 gf) up to 50 kN. Please note that the high-force 5980 Series systems are in full production as of 2021.

  • Up to 2.5 kHz data acquisition rate option simultaneous on load, extension, and strain channels
  • Speed range of 0.001 - 3000 mm/min (0.00004 -120 in/min), depending on the model
  • Customizable control panel
  • Automatic gain adjustment (allows closed loop strain control)
  • Compatible with Bluehill® Software / Instron® Remote Technical Support (RTS)
  • Specimen Protect
  • Automatic transducer recognition for load cells and extensometers
