If you’re looking to understand stiffness properties when a specific deflection is applied to a material or component, we can measure a variety of loads or forces to validate performance to specific standards or requirements. We also have a wide variety of actuators and load cells to help size up the application of the product.
Smithers experts also have years of experience in developing custom testing programs to recreate the stresses that occur during the life of a product, component, or assembly, giving your team confidence in final test results.
