High-Force Testing System Components

MTS Hydraulic Service Manifolds

MTS Hydraulic Service Manifolds (HSMs) provide independent pressure regulation for the precise control, isolation and distribution of hydraulic fluid to test stations.

By installing MTS HSMs into the hydraulic lines between the HPU and servovalve, you can turn each hydraulic circuit on or off and independently set low-pressure levels. This allows convenient, efficient test setup, operation and

maintenance of individual test systems without disturbing other systems.

MTS HSMs also minimize the effects of the rapid application and removal of high pressure, reducing unexpected actuator movement that could damage the test article or the test system. They also provide rapid pressure reduction to ensure safety, as well as store energy for transient events that require peak performance.

High-Force Actuators

Applying unmatched engineering and test technology expertise, MTS offers a complete family of highly reliable and durable hydraulic actuators. Our high-force actuators are designed specifically to meet the demands of mechanical testing in a wide range of civil, geomechanical and structural applications.

MTS servohydraulic test systems are engineered to deliver years of reliable testing in all types of lab environments. Highly configurable, they are deployed worldwide to test civil structural components, general materials, concrete, rock and cement. By integrating extremely

stiff MTS servohydraulic load frames, FlexTest controls, MTS test application software and a host of accessory options, these systems can be easily adapted to perform fatigue life studies, fracture growth studies, and tension, bending and compression tests.
