Mark-10 ESM750 / ESM1500 High Capacity Motorized Test Stand
Force Gauge sold Separately
PC control, stop / cycle at force, travel, or limit switch
32" of travel
The Mark-10 ESM750 High Capacity Motorized Test Stand is a highly configurable single-column force tester for tension and compression measurement applications up to 750 lb (3.4 kN). The Mark-10 ESM1500 High Capacity Motorized Test Stand is a highly configurable single-column force tester for tension and compression measurement applications up to 1,500 lbF (6.7 kN). Suitable for laboratory and production environments, the Mark-10 ESM750 / ESM1500 may be used with an indicator-load cell combination or with a force gauge. Sample setup and fine positioning are a breeze with available FollowMeTM force-based positioning - using your hand as your guide, push and pull on the load cell or force gauge to move the crosshead at a dynamically variable rate of speed.
With generous travel, clearance, and depth dimensions, a wide range of tests can be performed, including break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. Satisfy various test methods through an easy-to-use menu, allowing the configuration of test speed, force and distance limits, cycling, preload, and many other functions, all protected by a password.
Controller functions are offered individually through a unique “build-your-own” configuration platform. Order any combination of functions to customize the test stand to specific requirements. Functions not ordered originally can be activated in the field.
Force and travel data can be output to a PC for graphing and analysis using MESURTMgauge software. Or, fully control the stand by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications.

Optional Functions
Feature | Description | Requirements |
FollowMe® force-based positioning SF008 | Position the crosshead by manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft or load cell. Increasing force produces greater speeds. Ideal for setups and quick positioning. | Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
Travel indication SF009 (ESM1500 / ESM750) SF009-1 (ESM1500S / ESM750S) | Position is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. An internal scale utilizing Renishaw technology produces significantly higher accuracy than with conventional rotary encoder-based designs. Backlash and nonlinearity are virtually eliminated. | For data output to a PC, a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator is required. |
Computer control SF010 | Fully control the stand and force gauge / indicator via custom-written application in any language supporting ASCII communications. Also responds to the legacy Chatillon TCD command set and legacy Nexygen TCD software (not available from Mark-10). This option is not required for MESUR®gauge Plus software. | Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator SF009 travel indication For full speed range, consider SF017 and SF018 speed range extensions |
Programmable travel limits SF011 | The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances. | SF009 travel indication option |
Overload protection SF012 | Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. Also compatible with many competitors’ gauges. | Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
Auto return SF013 | The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the opposite limit. | Reversing at force set point: Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator Reversing at travel limit: SF011 programmable travel limits option Reversing at break: SF019 break detection option |
Cycling / dwell time SF014 | Same as auto-return, but programmable up to 99,999 cycles. Programmable dwell time at upper and lower limits up to 9,999 seconds. | Same as auto-return, at the same speed in each direction. Add SF016 for independent up and down speeds. |
Independent Up and Down speeds SF016 | Individually specify speeds for the up and down directions. | – |
Low speed extension SF017 | Extends the standard speed range down to 0.001 in/min (0.02 mm/min). | – |
High speed extension SF018 SF018-1 | ESM1500 / ESM1500S: Extends max speed to 90 in/min (2,300 mm/min). ESM750 / ESM750S: Extends max speed to 60 in/min (1,525 mm/min). | – |
Break detection SF019 | Crosshead stops at a programmable drop in force. | Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
Loadholding SF020 | Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a specified load for an indefinite or specified period of time. | Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator If a specified time is required, order SF014 cycling / dwell time option |
Preload / sample touch SF021 | Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload – useful in tensile, spring, elongation, and other applications. | SF009 travel indication Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator |
Profiles SF022 | Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preload, etc. Maximum of 50 profiles may be stored. | – |
Complete options package SFCOMP (ESM1500 / ESM750) SFCOMP-1 (ESM1500S / ESM750S) | Includes all functions listed above. Requires a Series 7 or 5 gauge or indicator. |

| |
Remote emergency switch (AC1074) - Convenient for when the standard emergency switch is inaccessible, for example if a safety shield is used. Includes an 8’ (2.4 m) cable, and plugs directly into the rear of the test stand. The standard, attached emergency switch remains operational while the remote switch is plugged in.
| |
Control panel tabletop mounting kit (AC1085, ESM303-004) - For applications requiring remote use of the control panel. Features an adjustable viewing angle and a base with thru holes for bench mounting. Use AC1085 for test stands produced in November 2020 or later, or ESM303-004 for test stands produced earlier.
