Manual Test Stands
Model TSB100
Force, Manual, 100 lbF / 500 N
The TSB100 is a lever-operated test stand for many applications requiring quick action. Lightweight and compact design makes this stand portable for field testing. Modular design allows for the force gauge bracket and lever mechanism to be repositioned along the column. Removable base allows for a range of custom mounting configurations. Adjustable travel stops are available.
Features:
- Rack and pinion mechanism with lever operation
Allows for quick testing. The lever can be repositioned in 30° increments. - Removable base with loading table
A steel loading table with threaded holes is provided for grip or fixture mounting. The entire base may be removed for alternative mounting. - Optional 6″ [152 mm] digital travel display (TSB001)
Useful in spring testing, rubber and polymer testing, and more.
Model TSC1000 / TSC1000H
Force, Manual, 1,000 lbF / 5,000 N
The TSC1000 is a rugged stand for heavy duty testing requirements requiring fine position control without back driving. Hand wheel operation allows the operator to produce gradual and repeatable force during testing. Modular design allows for the gauge mounting plate and housing to be moved along the length of the column. Removable base (TSC1000) or mounting legs (TSC1000H) allow for a range of custom mounting configurations.
Features:
- Inline hand wheel operation
Precision Acme screw and nut provide smooth operation over the entire 1,000 lbF range. Inline force minimizes column bending during testing. - Modular design
Adjustable components accommodate a wide range of testing configurations. - Optional 6″ [152 mm] digital travel display (TSC001)
Useful in spring testing, rubber and polymer testing, and more.

- Maximum travel depends on the grips or fixtures used during testing. The dimensions indicate distances without the use of grips or fixtures.
- The clearance between the bottom of a mounted force gauge or sensor and the loading surface of the stand. Daylight will be reduced through the use of grips or fixtures. If the test sample size is close to the daylight specification above (or daylight less grip(s) or fixture(s)), a column extension may be necessary.
- Column extensions are available.
