Bose Corporation’s ElectroForce Systems Group introduces two new long
stroke test systems: the ElectroForce® 3200-ES (Extended Stroke) Series III
test instrument and the ElectroForce LM1-ES TestBench test instrument.
The fidelity, control and dynamic performance you expect from a Bose®
test instrument is now available with over 160 mm of displacement in a
single instrument. This capability is highly attractive for a variety of
high-strain materials test applications.

Product Overview
The new ElectroForce ES instruments combine two electromagnetic linear
motor technologies to increase the range of displacement available on the
ElectroForce 3200 and LM1 TestBench by more than a factor of 10. The ES
motor is mounted in the moveable crosshead of a 3200 test frame or,
alternatively, it can be mounted on a TestBench reaction base. In both
instances, the ES actuator replaces the microadjustor, which is typically
used for positioning of the specimen, and opposes the ElectroForce motor.
