CM-5000 Series Compression Machine

The CM-5000 Series Compression Machine meets the demands of testing high strength concrete specimens in a production testing program for accurate and repeatable test results.  It also exceeds both ACI and ASTM requirements for frame rigidity and accuracy. This makes it ideal for commercial testing laboratories that commonly test a wide variety of specimen types.

The CM-5000 machine load frame features a wide horizontal opening, large lower platen table, bottom-mounted piston with dust shield, heavy duty load frame mounting stand that positions the lower platen at a convenient height loading heavy test specimens.  The lower platen table is through hardened to 55 HRC or greater for longer service life.  The plated platen table prevents corrosion and has concentric circles for easier centering of the test specimens.  The machine also comes with 2-year warranty on parts and labor.

• Testing Range: 5,000 to 500,000 lbs (22.2 – 2,224 kN)
• Accuracy: ±.5% of indicated load
• Frame stiffness rating of 41.6 million lbs/in
• Easier specimen loading with large platen table

Optional Accessories

• Test Platen Sets
• Spacers
• Limit switch to prevent over extension of the piston
