SHIMADZU USF-2000A Ultrasonic Fatigue Testing System

Shimadzu fatigue testing machine

SHIMADZU USF-2000A Ultrasonic Fatigue Testing System has been recently commisioned (08 November 2019) in our workshop.

With the ultrasonic fatigue testing system USF-2000A in standard- or mean stress configuration fatigue tests in the Very-High-Cycle-Fatigue (VHCF) range can be performed time- and cost-efficiently with the frequency 20 kHz. Results about the fatigue behaviour and the fatigue strength at 107 cycles will be available after ca. 10 minutes and at 1010 cycles after ca. 6 days.
