Series TS Force Measurement Test Stands

OPERATION
1. Mount the test stand to a firm, flat, and level working surface for maximum
safety and accuracy using four 5/16 screws (not included). Use the included
mounting hole drill template to accurately drill the holes. Testing can take
place without securing the test stand in such a manner, however, it is rec-
ommended that the stand be secured.
2. Install a force gauge onto the gauge plate with four thumb screws. Mark-10
force gauges mount directly to the stand without adapters.
3. Install any needed attachments, including grips, adapters, and other materi-
als necessary for your test sample. Make sure these items are set up
in a secure and safe manner.
4. Zero out the force gauge, then begin the test by turning the hand wheel
clockwise for compression or counter-clockwise for tension.
The loading lever can be adjusted to allow for ease of operation. Reposition the
loading lever by removing the knob and realigning the lever pin in the mounting
hub. Move the loading lever clockwise for compression, counter-clockwise for
tension.
The rack brake can be set by loosening the wing nut, positioning the rack to the
desired location and re-tightening the wing nut .
The clearance on the rack can be adjusted by removing the gauge plate, align-
ing the C-bracket holes with the set screws and adjusting as necessary.
Note: To maintain smooth functioning of the stand, avoid overloads and repeti-
tive shock loads.
