ARES - LS

The ARES-LS is our most advanced rheometer, featuring a High Performance LS air bearing motor and patented Force Rebalance Transducer™ (FRT). The ARES-LS1 includes the 1KFRTN1, with a dynamic range of six decades. The ARES-LS2 with the 2KFRTN1 is an outstanding choice for medium to high viscosity materials including polymer melts and solids. The ARES-LS2 is typically congigured with an forced air convection oven (FCO) and the ARES-LS1 comes with the Peltier plate environmental option. Due to the air supported actuator, the ARES-LS is capable to control very small shear rates. The low axial runout combined with the quasi infinite stiffness of the FRT transucer, makes the ARES-LS the best rheometer for measuring transient normal stresses.
