The one-column manual material test stand PCE-TF 2 is suitable for manual testing of tensile and compressive forces of up to 1000 N.. It is frequently used for occasional material and component tests or in production monitoring. The manual material test stand PCE-TF 4 ensures a high degree of stability and a working space which is open to three sides, owing to the C frame. The crossbeam of the material test stand is moved by means of a hand crank and makes a precise traverse distance possible which makes testing very easy.
