Dynamic Mechanical Analyzers
ElectroForce instruments are highly versatile with capabilities to perform static and dynamic mechanical tests with high precision and reliability. Most instruments can be equipped to perform linear Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), including adding thermal analysis on select models (sometimes referred to as DMTA).
Several TA ElectroForce® test instruments are well-suited for DMA analysis and QA testing of viscoelastic materials such as elastomers, polymers, composites and tissues. The wide frequency and loading ranges of ElectroForce instruments align well with the dynamic nature of DMA tests. In addition, their compact designs and quiet, clean and durable operation allow them to be used in virtually any environment, from processing floor to clean room to tissue culture incubator.
The following ElectroForce instruments can be configured for Dynamic Mechanical Analysis including Temperature Analysis.
| Model | Maximum Force (N) | Max DMA Frequency (Hz) | Temperature Range (C) |
| DMA 3200 LSO | 500N | 100Hz | -150 to 315°C |
| DMA 3200 FCO | 500N | 100Hz | -150 to 600°C |
| 3300 | 3000N | 75Hz | -150 to 350°C |
| 3510 | 7500N | 40Hz | -150 to 350°C |
| 3550 | 15000N | 35Hz | -150 to 350°C |
