New from Lloyd Instruments is a
high precision universal materials
testing machine for testing at forces
up to 5 kN/1124 lbf. The new, single
column LS5 enjoys the same
mechanical design principles
introduced on the LS1 instrument,
with linear guide technology, preloaded
ball screws and advanced
software compensation to ensure high
displacement precision.

A wide speed range
(0.01-1016mm/min
(0.0004-40in/min)), load
accuracy of ±0.5% down
to 1% of load cell value,
a choice of eight
plug’n’play YLC Series
load cells with
different load
ratings and
resolution, and a
large work area
(150mm throat depth)
combine to ensure
high quality
results and high
productivity.
