Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the MT500HE3HX motorized or manual?
A: Manual. It uses a hand-turned wheel rather than a motor, giving fine, controlled incremental travel — well suited to slow, precisely-controlled testing.

Q: What mounting and orientation does the MT500HE3HX use?
A: This configuration uses a LG mounting interface in a horizontal orientation, and can be set up as a bench-top unit or wall-mounted.

Q: Does the MT500HE3HX include a travel indicator?
A: Not built in on this configuration — choose the Ruler Assembly or Digital Travel Indicator version if you need to log travel distance.

Q: Is a force gauge included with the MT500HE3HX?
A: No — the test stand is sold separately from the force gauge. Pair it with a compatible Chatillon digital or mechanical force gauge sized to your required capacity.

Q: What does “Extended Travel” mean for the MT500HE3HX?
A: It gives the stand a longer working stroke than the standard version, useful for testing parts that need more travel distance than a standard stand provides.
