YLC Series (interchangeable) |
Ideal for plastics, rubber, films, packaging and high-elongation materials. Available in standard, extended and pogo configurations. Works with NEXYGENPlus software.
Typical applications: With a 1 kN capacity, the MT500LS1BX is a cost-effective choice for lower-volume QC checks, incoming inspection, and field testing where hand-crank operation is sufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the MT500LS1BX motorized or manual?
A: Manual. It uses a hand lever rather than a motor, giving you direct, feel-based control over travel speed during push/pull force testing.
Q: What mounting and orientation does the MT500LS1BX use?
A: This configuration uses a DF or LG mounting interface in a vertical orientation, for bench-top use.
Q: Does the MT500LS1BX include a travel indicator?
A: Not built in on this configuration — if you need to log travel distance, choose the Ruler Assembly or Digital Travel Indicator version instead.
Q: Is a force gauge included with the MT500LS1BX?
A: No — the test stand is sold separately from the force gauge.
Q: What is the “Ultra-Extended Travel” option for?
A: It gives the stand a longer working stroke than the standard MT500, useful for testing parts or assemblies that need more travel distance than a standard-travel stand provides.
