• In addition to tensile and flexure tests, Charpy impact tests are the most frequently performed mechanical tests in the polymer industry. ZwickRoell’s HIT series pendulum impact testers offer a high-precision, cost effective solution.
• Type of test: Charpy, Izod, Dynstat, Tensile impact test..
• Standard-compliant testing according to Charpy, Dynstat, and Izod and tensile impact tests, Method A/B with the HIT series of pendulum impact testers—be sure to hit your target with ZwickRoell!
• HIT pendulum impact testers automatically identify the pendulum in use, ensuring that measured values are always determined in the correct range and in accordance with the standard in use.
• A world first is the use of carbon double rods for the pendulum. This provides a high level of stiffness in the impact direction and a strong concentration of masses at the point of impact.
• Each pendulum is equipped with a quick-change device. Pendulums can be changed quickly and without the need for tools.
• The optional pendulum disc brake is virtually wear-free.
• Operator convenience is a prominent feature of the HIT pendulum impact testing systems. Easy-to-reach controls, on the same level wherever possible, help avoid user fatigue.
• The electronics contain a high-resolution digital encoder for accurate measurement of the impact angle. An RS232 interface is available for connection to laboratory data-management systems. A PC can be connected via a USB plug-and-play interface.
• All test-related settings are grouped logically and are separated from higher-level system settings. The operator is guided through the test configuration step by step. The saved test configuration can be easily exported and transferred to other instruments.
• Integrated user management reduces the number of operator input options to a minimum. Users see only what is important to them so they can focus on the task at hand right from the start.
• The new standardized operating philosophy allows the operator to move easily between the instrument and the PC.

• The consistent design of a pendulum impact tester for low natural vibrations starts near the specimen with the pendulums and fixtures.

  ZwickRoell uses high-performance carbon materials for our HIT pendulums. They offer the following advantages:

  • Significantly greater pendulum stiffness
  • Ideal distribution of mass
  • Repeatable, reproducible test results.
