The FSA-1KE Motorized Force vs Displacement Tester is a complete system that can be configured for a wide array of applications requiring both force and displacement measurement. The test system combines the capabilities of EMX series test stands with FA sensor and ZTA series gauges. The FSA-1KE series feature a high resolution and high speed data output for data collection of up to 2,000 samples per second.

Operation Modes
The FSA-1KE features 3 operating modes: Manual mode, Jog mode and Cycle mode. Manual mode allows manual control of the carriage at a set speed. Jog mode allows the user to use the program dial to move the gauge approximately .01mm per click of the dial. Cycle mode allows users to easily set up programmable tests. Save up to 5 test configurations in the memory of the test stand.

Numerous Programming Options
The tester features a number of different configurable test parameters. Set up to 5 independent speeds per test cycle. Other configurable settings include: force values (high/low setpoints), distance limit, dwell time and number of cycles.

Force and Distance Control Operation
The FSA-1KE also has Conditional Overload Prevention. Users can program the test stand to move until a certain force value is reached. For more information see the force control tab below.

The tester allows for Distance Control utilizing the new touch sensing feature. This is ideal for spring tests, elongation tests or any tests requiring a sample to be put under tension or compression to a specified distance.
