What is the Principle of the UTM Machine?
Apr 02, 2025
Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) are essential instruments for evaluating material properties across industries. As a leading manufacturer with 16+ years' expertise, Suzhou TOPHUNG explains the working principles and why our UTMs deliver exceptional value.
Core Working Principle
A UTM operates through three integrated systems:
Loading Frame: Applies controlled tensile/compressive forces via electromechanical or hydraulic actuators.
Load Cell: Precisely measures resistance using strain gauge technology (accuracy up to ±0.5% in TOPHUNG models).
Control System: Our self-developed software automates test protocols per ISO/ASTM standards while capturing real-time data.
