Rotorless rotational shear vulcameter offers variable oscillation frequency.


The Visco-Elastograph is a rotorless rotational shear vulcameter with variable oscillation frequency The Oscillation frequency (fundamental period): to give an example you can think of a grandfather clock. The pole swings beating the second; the time it takes to start from a point and then go back to that point is the oscillation period (as you can see, the grandfather clock has  and amplitude with an extremely fast temperature control and homogeneous temperature distribution in the closed reaction die.

The Visco-Elastograph can be operated in the following modes: Frequency sweep; amplitude sweep; temperature sweep; vulcanization vulcanization (vŭl'kənəzā`shən), treatment of rubber to give it certain qualities, e.g., strength, elasticity, and resistance to solvents, and to render it impervious to moderate heat and cold. ; frequency and amplitude sweep with prior deflection; ramp test with deformation angle up to 90[degrees]; and relaxation test with deformation angle up to 90[degrees].

The Visco-Elastograph is a tabletop device with integrated electronics. It features an internal PC for operation, program control and test data acquisition, with no mechanical settings required.

Manual setting of up to 20 steps is accomplished in the operation mode "manual sweep." Thereby, the deflection, the frequency and the duration of each step can be set individually.

Running with automatic frequency steps, the duration, deflection, starting and final frequency, as well as the amount of steps, can be set.
