THEORY : - The Universal Testing Machine consists of two units.
1) Loading unit, 2) Control panel.
LOADING UNIT:It consists of main hydraulic cylinder with robust base inside. The piston which moves up and down. The chain driven by electric motor which is fitted on left hand side. The screw column maintained in the base can be rotated using above arrangement of chain. Each column passes through the main nut which is fitted in the lower cross head.
The lower table connected to main piston through a ball & the ball seat is joined to ensure axial loading.
