Device Description
The Schenck DPM 14 and DPM 15 fatigue testing machines are designed for cyclic testing of metallic materials under alternating loads. They enable precise determination of fatigue strength, service life, and damage behavior under defined stress or strain amplitudes. Equipped with servo-electric drive and high control accuracy, tests can be performed at constant frequency or using block programs.
Device Application
Application areas include the automotive and aerospace industries as well as materials development. The machines offer high stiffness and reliable data acquisition for standardized execution of Wöhler tests and low-/high-cycle fatigue tests, particularly at elevated temperatures.
