This article will introduce in detail the definition, working principle, application scenarios and comparison of popular models in the market of servo-controlled tensile testing machines.
1. Definition of servo controlled tensile testing machine

The servo-controlled tensile testing machine is a device that uses a servo motor drive system, combined with high-precision sensors and a computer control system, to test the mechanical properties of materials such as tension, compression, and bending. Compared with traditional hydraulic or mechanical testing machines, it has the advantages of fast response speed, high control accuracy, and strong real-time data collection.
| Comparative item | Servo control type | Traditional hydraulic type |
|---|---|---|
| Control accuracy | ±0.5% | ±1-2% |
| Response speed | millisecond level | Second level |
| Energy consumption | Low (energy saving more than 30%) | high |
2. Core working principle
The servo control system achieves accurate testing through the following processes:
1.Instruction input: Set test parameters (such as speed, stroke) through the operation interface
2.closed loop control: The servo motor receives the displacement/force sensor feedback signal in real time
3.Dynamic adjustment: Automatically adjust the output torque and speed according to the deviation value
4.Data collection: Simultaneously record force value, deformation and other parameters, the sampling frequency can reach 1000Hz
| Subsystem | key components | Technical indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Drive system | AC servo motor | Power 0.5-10kW, accuracy ±0.1% |
| Measurement system | Strain sensor | Measuring range 50N-1000kN, accuracy level 0.5 |
| control system | DSP processor | Control cycle ≤1ms |
