Spacers for Platen Adjustment on Concrete Compression Machines
Spacers are essential accessories used alongside test platens to adjust the vertical working clearance height within a machine's load frame. They are designed to accommodate the testing of samples of various types and sizes, preventing the over-extension of the load frame's piston during operation.
Construction & Design Spacers are manufactured from high-quality steel and precision-machined on both ends to ensure a parallel alignment between spacers and test platens. This meticulous machining process guarantees consistent and accurate test results. To enhance durability and longevity, spacers are painted for corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
Model Types Spacers are available in four distinct model types to suit different machine configurations and testing requirements:
- Holding Stem Mount: Designed to mount against the machine's upper crosshead using a holding stem.
- Socket Head Bolt Mount: Attaches to the machine's upper crosshead via a socket head bolt.
- Draw Rod Mount: Connects to the machine's upper crosshead using a draw rod method.
- Lower Crosshead Spacer: Sits on the machine's lower crosshead and is used in conjunction with a bearing platen.
Compatibility This spacer is specifically designed for use with 4" x 8" and 3" x 6" cylinders on the HCM-2500 Machine.
