The Imada NLV-220 Vertical Lever Test Stand is a test stand that provides maximum versatility and reliability. Lever action provides quick, consistent testing. A pull down on the lever creates either compression or tension, depending on the model. Are turn spring resets the lever on compression models. The stands will accommodate any of the standard range force gauges and can be equipped with a precision digital distance meter. The optional extender plate increases clearance to 14" for larger samples.
