ElectroForce® 3200 Series III
tttttTest Instrument
ElectroForce® test instruments incorporate proprietary linear motion
technologies and WinTest® controls to provide a revolutionary approach to
dynamic mechanical testing. The ElectroForce 3200 Series III family of tests
instruments offers improved features, providing unparalleled performance and
versatility for challenging applications requiring low amplitude testing accuracy.
The 3200 Series III test instrument may be configured for 225 N or optionally,
450 N maximum force capacity. The system has a wide bandwidth, capable of
performing tests from static conditions to cyclic tests up to 300 Hz and 200
Hz for DMA.

Innovation in the Material Testing Industry
The High
Accuracy
Displacement
Sensor is the
first use in the
material testing industry of a
new technology that provides
displacement resolution of a
nanometer and accuracies in
the range of microns.

Accuracy – Exceeds ASTM E-2309’s
toughest standard, Class A
Resolution – Unparalleled 1 nm resolution
Responsiveness – Reduced signal latency
results in significantly improved controls
responsiveness
Absolute displacement measurement –
High resolution and absolute measurement
with a single sensor

Test Types
The design of new materials and products requires
a thorough assessment of material properties and
complete performance evaluation within the
intended end-use service environment. A variety
of basic and advanced testing techniques are
available in the 3200 to meet this need.
