We've reconfigured our usual components, precision solenoid, load cell, roller bearing slide, programmable stamp, keypad, LCD readout, etc, to make an affordable instrument for testing shear bond strength specimens.

The Shear Bond Strength Tester is available in a basic package with a test frame and command module. This package is introductory priced at $3900. 

An expansion package with data logging desktop computer is also available.  It has a footprint of 30x60 cm.

Like all of Proto-tech's instruments, the shear bond strength tester is backed by a full one year parts and labor warranty and is shipped in a sturdy wooden crate surrounded by insulation for safe shipping.

Shear Bond Strength Tester  

Proto-tech's Shear Bond Strength Tester reliably loads specimens up to 400N. The command module has a four-button controller that allows for variable loading rate and adjustable loading limit, and displays the maximum load of each specimen. The specimen holder accommodates 3/4 inch cylindrical specimens. The loading chisel is designed for 2mm diameter stubs, though fixtures for other specimen geometries are available on request. An immersion chamber with recirculating heating water bath is an available option too.
