What are the main advantages of a floor-standing UTM over a large benchtop model?

Date: January 2, 2026Views: 1062

Floor-standing models offer significantly greater frame rigidity (higher stiffness), which is critical for accurate modulus measurement on stiff materials. They typically have higher force capacities (often >50kN), larger test spaces for environmental chambers, and are installed as permanent, vibration-damped systems, enhancing long-term stability and accuracy.
