The FGS-VC Series Motorized Force Test Stands are designed to provide accurate and repeatable results for tension, compression, break and cycle performance tests in various applications . The large measurement area plus tall 15.75˝ (400 mm) travel distance allow large, unique parts to be tested. A precise and consistent 0.40-15.75”/min (10-400mm/min) adjustable speed provides for slow tests or quick cycle load testing. The FGS-VC’s are flexible as they can be operated by the keypad or through a PC via the FGT-VC software which includes data collection, graphing and statistical analysis.

Shimpo's advanced motorized test stands allow the user to obtain the most accurate, repeatable results available in the market today. All steel construction makes them remarkably rugged, while programming and cycling capabilities enable them to be highly intelligent. All stands have the ability to interface with our top quality force gauges, providing complete force measurement systems for the most precise testing applications.

Because speed, distance, and time are controlled by the user in either a vertical or horizontal model, Shimpo's motorized stands can be configured for any application.
