biegeprüfmaschine

A biegeprüfmaschine, also known as a bending testing machine, is a piece of equipment used to determine the material properties of a sample under flexural stress. These machines apply a controlled bending load to a specimen until it fractures or reaches a predetermined deflection. The primary purpose is to measure the flexural strength, flexural modulus, and in some cases, the ductility of materials such as plastics, metals, composites, and wood.

Biegeprüfmaschinen typically consist of a loading mechanism, a fixture to hold the specimen, and a sensor to measure the applied force or displacement. The specimen is usually supported at two points, and the load is applied at a third point in the center (three-point bending) or at two points between the supports (four-point bending). During the test, the machine records the load applied and the corresponding deflection of the specimen.

The data collected from a biegeprüfmaschine allows engineers and material scientists to understand how a material will behave when subjected to bending forces in real-world applications. This information is crucial for product design, quality control, and material selection to ensure safety and performance. Different types of biegeprüfmaschinen exist, varying in their load capacity, speed, and control capabilities to suit a wide range of testing requirements.
