Overview
The MK-Y05005 is an electronic extensometer with a ±5 mm measuring range for tensile and compression testing machines. Bidirectional over-travel mechanical limit stops protect the sensor from accidental overload during specimen failure.
Key Features
- ±5 mm bidirectional measuring range for tension and compression tests
- Mechanical over-travel limit protection in both directions
- Lightweight clamping design minimizes influence on specimen behavior
- Reliable, repeatable strain signal for universal testing machines
Applications
Universal material testing machines, metal and plastic tensile testing, and laboratory strain measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the mechanical limit protection do?
When a specimen breaks or a test over-travels, the limit stops mechanically arrest the measuring arm, preventing damage to the sensitive strain element.
Can the MK-Y05005 be used with my testing machine controller?
Its strain output follows the standard extensometer interface, so it works with all common universal testing machine controllers.
