Functional description

TVL/TVL-O/TVL-XLS
The TVL/TVL-O/TVL-XLS test stands are designed for force measuring devices with an internal measuring cell up to 1 kN (please refer to the table in the technical data for the maximum force of the respective test stand). The test stand should be set up on a solid surface, such as a workstand or a base plate. A SAUTER force gauge can then be attached to the test stand using the four M3 cylinder head screws provided. There are several holes in the base plate of the test stand for attaching various accessories, such as clamps, length measuring devices, etc. The test stand can be moved with a spindle stroke of 3 mm/revolution using the existing handwheel.

TVL-E
The TVL-E test stand is designed for force measuring devices with an external measuring cell up to 2 kN. The test stand should be set up on a solid surface, such as a workstand or a base plate. The external measuring cell can then be attached to the test stand using an M12 cylinder head screw or an M6 cylinder head screw using the AFM 77 adapter. There are several holes in the base plate of the test stand for attaching various accessories, such as clamps, length measuring devices, etc. The test stand can be moved with a spindle stroke of 2 mm/revolution using the existing handwheel.

Horizontal mode of operation
All TVL test stands can be positioned and operated horizontally using the adjustable foot and the 2 screws.
