Bench top Electronic Tensile Testing Equipment

Model: WDT-5Y/ WDT-10Y / WDT-20Y/WDT-50Y

Bench-top electronic tensile testing equipment is a compact, high-precision material testing solution engineered for low-to-medium load (0.1N–50kN, typical mainstream range 2N–20kN) tensile, compression, peeling, tearing, and bending tests . Designed to fit standard laboratory workbenches, it replaces bulky hydraulic systems with an AC servo motor + precision ball screw drive system, delivering stepless speed adjustment and closed-loop control of force, displacement, and strain.


Unlike floor-standing industrial testers, its lightweight (150–200kg for small models) and compact footprint (1–2㎡) make it ideal for R&D labs, quality control (QC) departments, educational institutions, and small-batch production facilities. It excels in measuring mechanical properties of small-sized specimens (e.g., thin films, wires, plastic pellets, textile fibers) with high precision, complying with international standards such as ASTM D638 (plastics), ISO 6892-1 (metals), and GB/T 1040 (polymer materials) .

Core Advantages of Bench-Top Electronic Tensile Testing Equipment
Compared to hydraulic tensile testers (which are optimized for 50kN+ heavy loads), bench-top electronic models offer unmatched advantages in low-load, high-precision scenarios:
(1) Superior Precision & Stability
Accuracy Class: 0.5 level (±0.5% of reading) vs. 1 level (±1% of reading) for hydraulic models, enabling stable control of micro-loads (≥1N) and small displacements (resolution 0.001mm) .
No Environmental Interference: Eliminates load fluctuations caused by hydraulic oil compressibility, temperature changes, or seal leakage—critical for testing fragile materials (e.g., biomaterials, microelectronic components).
(2) Cost-Efficiency & Low Maintenance
Energy Saving: Consumes only 1–5kW (vs. 5–20kW for hydraulic testers), cutting electricity costs by up to 75% over a 10-year lifecycle .
Oil-Free Operation: No hydraulic oil, filters, or seal replacements required; maintenance is limited to periodic lubrication of ball screws (total lifecycle maintenance cost 20–30% lower than hydraulic models) .
Low Failure Rate: Simplified mechanical structure reduces risks of oil circuit blockage or leakage—common issues with hydraulic systems.
(3) Space & Usability Benefits
Compact Design: Occupies 1–2㎡ of bench space (vs. 3–5㎡ for hydraulic testers with separate hydraulic stations); easy to install, relocate, or integrate into cleanrooms/laboratories.
Quiet Operation: Runs at ≤60dB (conversational volume) vs. ≥75dB for hydraulic pumps, meeting laboratory noise standards.
Fast Response: Stepless speed range (0.001–500mm/min) with instant speed adjustment (hydraulic models have slow response due to system inertia) .
(4) Flexible Automation
Intuitive software enables one-click test setup, real-time data capture, and automatic calculation of key metrics (tensile strength, elongation, Young’s modulus).
Supports integration and remote monitoring—eliminating manual data recording errors common with hydraulic testers.


Working Principle: 
UTMs operate through a systematic process:
1, Force Application: A precisely controlled drive system applies tensile or compressive force to a specimen
2, Deformation Measurement: High-precision sensors record the specimen's response
3, Data Analysis: A computer system processes data to calculate key mechanical properties
