Built around a floor-standing servo-hydraulic load frame, the series is available in 25 kN, 50 kN, 100 kN, 250 kN, and 500 kN capacities to accommodate different specimen dimensions and testing forces. Each model supports tension-tension, tension-compression, and fully reversed fatigue testing for metals, polymers, composites, and biomedical materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor-standing load frame places the dynamic actuator at the base, providing a low center of gravity that helps reduce vibration and maintain accurate specimen alignment during cyclic loading. A high-performance hydraulic actuator with a ±75 mm stroke delivers controlled sinusoidal, triangular, and user-defined waveforms across frequencies suitable for both low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue testing. Closed-loop servo-hydraulic control works with a fatigue-rated load cell and optional extensometer to maintain accurate force, displacement, or strain control throughout each test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QualiDFT™ Series offers five load capacities to match different fatigue testing requirements. The 25 kN and 50 kN models are suitable for thin-gauge metals, polymers, and small composite coupons. The 100 kN model is designed for standard metallic fatigue specimens, including testing in accordance with ASTM E466. The 250 kN and 500 kN models provide the higher force capacity required for thicker specimens, structural joints, and full-scale component fatigue testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll five models use a common controller platform, software environment, and grip interface, making it easier to scale testing capacity while maintaining a consistent operating workflow. The QualiDFT™ Series is suited for dynamic material testing, fatigue strength testing, cyclic loading, fatigue life studies, and component durability evaluation across research and industrial laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDynamic Fatigue Testing Machine – QualiDFT™ Series Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerospace Structural Materials: Generates S-N curves and crack growth data for aluminum alloys, titanium, and nickel-based superalloys used in airframe structures, turbine components, and landing gear.

The specimen is subjected to controlled maximum and minimum force, stress, or strain at a defined frequency. With repeated loading, localized deformation can develop within the material, followed by persistent slip bands, micro-crack formation, and progressive crack growth. Eventually, a dominant fatigue crack can propagate until fracture occurs. The relationship between applied stress amplitude and cycles to failure is commonly represented by an S-N curve, which provides an indication of a material's fatigue resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QualiDFT™ Series uses a servo-hydraulic drive to convert pressurized hydraulic fluid into controlled piston movement. A servo valve regulates hydraulic flow to the actuator in real time, while the closed-loop controller continuously compares feedback from the load cell or extensometer with the programmed test waveform. The controller then adjusts the actuator response to maintain the required force, displacement, or strain within defined limits. This control method supports force-controlled high-cycle fatigue (HCF) testing as well as strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue (LCF) testing, where repeated plastic deformation has a significant effect on fatigue damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFracture mechanics testing provides additional information on fatigue crack propagation and structural integrity. A pre-cracked specimen is subjected to controlled cyclic loading while crack length is monitored using a compliance gauge, potential drop method, or other suitable measurement technique. The resulting crack growth rate (da\/dN) can be evaluated against the stress-intensity factor range (ΔK) to characterize fatigue crack growth behavior, including threshold and Paris-law regions and the approach to unstable fracture. These results support damage-tolerance assessment, inspection interval planning, fatigue life prediction, and structural component durability analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDynamic Fatigue Testing Machine - QualiDFT™ Series Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiDFT™ 25\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiDFT™ 50\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiDFT™ 100\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiDFT™ 250\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiDFT™ 500\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"5\"\u003eFloor-standing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Load (kN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
