Dillon - LCP Lever-Operated Test Stand

The LCP Lever-Operated Test Stand is built to facilitate repetitive testing such as testing springs or other resilient components.

Tension or compression testing
A single gear ratio and a push-pull lever, adjustable to any of eight positions in 45° increments, provide convenient tension and compression testing.

• Effective travel, daylight opening: (With gauge, without fixtures and grips) 6.0 in (152mm)
• Linear travel per revolution: 1.87 in (47.5 mm)
• Maximum load: 100 lb-50 kg- 500 N
• Maximum movement of fine adjuster: 0.31 in (8 mm)
• Maximum movement of adjustable stop: 5.98in (152mm)
• Weight: 2.04 lb (4.5 kg)
• Maximum load using extended instrument bracket: 40 lb-20 kg-200 N
• Parts list and dimensions
• Machined, solid aluminum, moving crosshead: Materials chosen for stability and, therefore, stand accuracy.
• Adjustable fixture alignment:Adjustable setting of the gauge and baseplate assures perfect fixture alignment and highest levels of accuracy.
• Adjustable stop and a fine adjustment thimble: Establish a preset stop for the crosshead during each test.

• Dillon Advanced Force Gauges (AFG): For compression testing the AFG mounts on the moving crosshead. For tension testing it mounts to the fixed crosshead, and an optional tension block binds the sample to the moving crosshead.
• Extended instrument brackets: They raise the gauge by 2.75 inches (70 mm) without having the columns extended.
• Digital height scales: Provide visual indication of the crosshead deflection in either inches or millimeters. All LCP stands are supplied with the necessary holes machined in the stand components for later installation of a height scale.
