The DMA Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer Provides Unmatched Performance in Stress/Strain Control and Measurement for Viscoelastic Materials
Proprietary and state-of-the-art technologies are superior to traditional designs.
New Castle, DE - February 1, 2002 - With the introduction of the new DMA Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer, TA Instruments, Inc. offers a powerful and versatile analyzer that provides advanced mechanical property measurements for a broad variety of viscoelastic materials at temperatures from -150°C to 600°C. Rugged, reliable and easy to use, the DMA Q800 provides unmatched performance in stress/strain control and measurement. It utilizes a proprietary non-contact, linear motor to provide precise stress control, and optical encoder technology for unmatched sensitivity and resolution in strain detection. The DMA Q800 incorporates state-of-the-art low-friction air bearings, providing superiority over traditional designs that employ LVDT technology, stepper motors and mechanical springs.
Complementing the Q800 performance is a broad range of easy-to-use sample clamps for operation in cantilever, 3-point bend, shear, compression and tension modes of deformation. Submersion clamps also permit analysis of solids in a liquid medium.
