These materials testing machines are fitted with a patented hybrid drive and two hydraulic working cylinders, on each side of the test area.

• Available in 600, 1200, 1600 and 2000 kN (60 - 200 tonnes) versions.
• High-resolution, channel-synchronized measurement technology provides extremely precise, accurate determination of material characteristic values. No range-switching is necessary as load signal resolution is available over the whole range.
• Patented Zwick hybrid drive for large test loads covers the widest possible specimen range.
• Hybrid drive combines the advantages of hydraulic load application (simple load generation, robust, low wear) with mechanical precision (high positional accuracy of  ±1 µm under load).
• Hybrid drive concept separates load generation from drive control, allowing test conditions to be reproduced with a very high degree of accuracy.
• Wide measuring range allows precise determination of even small test loads without re-tooling.
• Long travel combined with comparatively low build-height ensures trouble-free specimen clamping and convenient testing over a wide range of specimen lengths.
• Standard tests using Zwick testXpert^® software require only single-button operation.
• Modular design throughout the system allows the entire Zwick accessory range to be used, including a wide variety of extensometers, specimen grips and other test tools.
• Should new test requirements arise, additional test tools (e.g. calibration blocks) can very easily be installed by means of a T-slot or screw system.
• Can be tailored to customers’ specific requirements (e.g. test devices, specimen grips, test speed ranges, testing software).
