SV800 Rotating Fatigue Machine

The SV800 rotating fatigue machine has been designed to introduce students to the effects of material fatigue using a sinusoidal variation of bending stress.
A 2800rpm motor rotates a specimen through a gear and pulley arrangement between 5600 or 1400 rpm.
The specimens are held within ‘keyless’ chucks and loaded using a cantilever arrangement, with the load being applied through a screw jack mechanism with integral cantilever load cell.
