Description
Used for bending and straightening steel reinforcing bars. Two types of tests can be performed:
1. Bending the specimen through 90° and then straightening it again up to a minimum of 20°.
2. Bending through 180°.
The 150 kN machine consists essentially of a hydraulic jack (linear actuator with stroke 600 mm) with cylindrical mandrel-stem, mounted horizontally within a strong steel frame which also carry two fixed reaction rollers. Two 50 and 100 mm dia. rollers are supplied with the machine. They may easily be adjusted with hand operated wheel in distance to be in accordance with the Standards. Fixing and changing the mandrels on top of the thrust cylinder is easy and practical and grants the operator a perfect interchangeability of the same. The machine is cased to protect every single component from the dust, and the operator from any possible danger.
Mandrels which are given with the machine are according to EN ISO 15630-1 and ASTM A615& A615M standards. Please specify your requested standard of mandrels when ordering.
