Overview
The MK-Y05005 is an electronic extensometer for tensile and compression testing. Its strain-gauge, full-bridge design offers broad compatibility with test instruments, and bidirectional mechanical end stops protect the device against over-travel damage. Single-bevel or V-beam knives and a spring-hook clamp allow fast mounting on different specimen cross-sections.
Key Features
- Bidirectional over-travel mechanical protection
- Single-bevel or V-beam knife edges
- Quick spring-hook clamping
- High-compatibility full-bridge design
- High accuracy (Class 0.5) for precise measurement
- Standard output Approx. 2mV/V, compatible with common indicators
Applications
Fitted to material testing rigs carrying out tensile and compression tests that require accurate specimen extension measurement.
