Applications

A broad range of applications

DMA25 and DMA50 cover everything from routine DMA to specialized tests, for R&D, quality control, education and lab work.

DMA testing

Viscoelastic characterization, including glass and secondary transitions.

Static & quasi-static

Creep, stress relaxation, tension, compression and more.

Polymers & composites

Particularly well suited to polymer and composite characterization.

Immersed testing

Test materials immersed in a liquid, using all available specimen holders.

Humidity dependence

Analyze how material properties change with humidity.

R&D, QC & education

A cost-effective platform for research, quality control and teaching labs.

Desktop DMA test results
Designed for DMA

DMA testing has never been so simple

Optimized metrology and innovative dynamic and static control algorithms give DMA25 and DMA50 accurate control of every parameter that affects measurement quality.

A dedicated electrodynamic actuator, designed specifically for DMA, handles changes in mechanical behavior across temperature and lets you test specimens sized to represent the material’s structure, in dynamic or static tests.

Versatile and flexible

Two models, one flexible platform

Flexible operating modes handle routine DMA tests or custom tests that combine multiple parameters. The mechanical frame can be reversed depending on the test configuration, which is especially useful for immersed tests: you can use every specimen holder, in any test mode, without buying expensive accessories.
