The new Go Direct Structures & Materials Tester helps students evaluate structure and material strength by measuring the applied load and deflection and graphing the resulting data in real time. It connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.
This tester gives teachers a great way to motivate their students when it is used for engineering activities and competitions with the free Go Direct® Bridge Competition Software.
The tester includes the NGSS-aligned Materials Testing: Beams to Bridges with Go Direct® Structures & Materials Tester e-book to provide engaging engineering investigations to get started and a tackle kit to make it easy to load structures of varying sizes and shapes.
Specifications
- Attachment bracket and support
- (2) Clear shatter-proof polycarbonate truss holder side pieces
- (6) ½” diameter plastic spacers with #10 screws
- Aluminum attachment with ¼ -20 threaded pull
- 4″ threaded rod (¼-20)
The truss holder consists of a pair of side panels that hold the truss being tested and prevent the truss from tipping over. A support post connects to the top rail of the VSMT with standard 80/20® fittings. The truss holder is connected to the support post through a plastic bearing shoe that glides up and down in the grooved post. The truss holder also connects to the load cell (force sensor) with a 4 in. threaded rod that screws into the top of the load cell. The Truss Tester Accessory applies the force to the truss through 1/2 in. diameter spacers that can be positioned for a variety of loading locations.
