Universal Testing Machine for Material Analysis

The Zwick Z020 is a versatile and precise tensile testing machine for measuring mechanical properties of materials such as plastics, metals, rubber, and composites. With interchangeable load cells, it accurately measures both high and low forces. It features a climate chamber, enabling testing at temperatures ranging from -60 °C to +60 °C, critical for understanding material performance in extreme environments. We’ve primarily used this system for research on solid propellants in the defense industry, where reliability is key. Its intuitive testXpert software and robust design make it ideal for R&D and quality assurance.

The Zwick Z020 offers a force capacity of 20 kN and a test speed range from 0.001 mm/min to 1250 mm/min. It supports multiple load cells for precise measurements across force levels. With an integrated climate chamber, it enables tests under controlled temperature conditions. The adaptable test zone accommodates grips, extensometers, and fixtures. The system complies with ISO, ASTM, and DIN standards, making it suitable for high-level research involving thermal effects on materials.

Used for tensile, compression, and bending tests—especially in defense applications testing solid propellants under temperature variation. Also applicable to plastic, metal, and pharmaceutical industries.
