What is the importance of platen parallelism, and how is it maintained?

Date: January 6, 2026Views: 7196

Perfect platen parallelism is critical for applying uniform, axial force and preventing premature failure due to uneven loading. Our testers feature spherical-seat self-aligning lower platens and rigid construction to achieve and maintain parallelism. Regular verification (per calibration schedule) ensures ongoing accuracy and test validity.
