Shimpo’s manual test stands offer the
ability to obtain accurate, consistent
results without the high cost of a mo-
torized system.
Our lever operated stands are ideal for rapid testing applications
and the hand wheel stands are excellent for applications where
more precise control is necessary.
Both the lever and the hand wheel stands are available in various
capacities and can ensure accurate, consistent test results with
the addition of a Shimpo Instruments digital or mechanical force
gage.
Nearly all manufacturers’ gauges are compatible with Shimpo’s
test stands for incredible versatility. These stands are designed
for precision, balance, and durability. Therefore they are perfectly
suited for measuring a limitless range of materials such as, wire,
spring, plastic, paper cord, tubing, glass and composites.
