Rotating Fatigue Machine
SKU# MH8220
The Rotating Fatigue Machine from Matrix is a precision-engineered teaching tool designed to demonstrate the principles of material fatigue under cyclic loading conditions. It simulates sinusoidal bending stress at selectable speeds of 1400 or 5600 RPM, achieved through a 2800 RPM motor coupled via a gear and pulley system.
Test specimens are mounted using precision keyless chucks and subjected to cantilever loading, applied through a screw jack mechanism integrated with a load cell. This allows accurate force application and measurement. A digital display provides real-time readouts of both the applied force and the number of loading cycles, with reset functions available prior to each test.
The system automatically stops upon specimen failure using a microswitch, ensuring the final cycle count is preserved on the display. For operator safety, all rotating components are fully enclosed within a protective guard.
A manual and curriculum accompany the equipment, covering setup, operation, experimental procedures, example results, and the theoretical background.
Supplied as standard are a set of specially machined steel specimens with a nominal 4 mm neck diameter and all necessary tools for specimen replacement.
(US version – MH9180)
This product comes supplied with the Matrix Data Acquisition box, which is a universal interface providing a single platform for reliable data capture.
It is included as standard with all relevant products, ensuring every system is ready for digital data acquisition out of the box.
Direct integration with Matrix Flowcode enables real-time acquisition, analysis, and visualisation without extra hardware or software.
It captures key mechanical test data including:
- Elongation and extension
- Deformation (strain)
- Applied force / load
- Torque, angle, and fatigue cycle data
