It consists of a cabinet which houses the electrical motor, reduction gear and the turret gear box. The loading is done by the upward movement of the lower platen which is firmly fixed to the lead screw. When the level is set in the neutral position, it isolates the lead screw from the rest of the drive mechanism, and the lead screw can then be manually moved up or down by operating the handle. On the unit, a main switch, a jewel lamp and a forward reverse switch are fixed. A relay is fitted inside the cabinet so that in case of power failure, the unit will not restart of its own on resumption of power, unless the switches are operated.
The adjustable cross head can be set at any required height over the two pillars and secured in position by tightening the adjustment nuts. It carries a hexagonal proving ring adaptor. A bracket for strain dial gauge is attached to one of the pillars of the load frame. Rates of strain are 1.25, 0.25, 0.05, 0.01, 0.002, 0.0004 mm/min. Suitable for operation on 230V, 50 Hz, single phase, AC Supply.
