Dead-Weight Direct Residual Shear Machines

The HM-5750 Series of Dead-weight Direct-shear machines, come in three configurations — analog, digital and manual gauge measuring devices. These machines feature Humboldt's touch-screen monitor for test control. In addition, Models HM-5750A and HM-5750D provide four (4) integral and independent data acquisition channels, which can be utilized in stand-alone configurations or accessed through a LAN-networked computer using Humboldt‘s Next Software for control and data collection.

HM-5750A.3F
The HM-5750A Direct Shear machine is an economical choice for performing direct/residual shear tests utilizing the dead-weight method and analog measuring devices. The microprocessor-based system features a stepper-motor drive system and a 7" touch-screen display that allows the operator to control and monitor all test functions. Like all Elite Series machines, the HM-5750A is built around Humboldt's integral, 4-channel data logger with touch-screen control, which allows the HM-5750A to be used as a standalone device capable of full test control and data logging. It can also be controlled by a networked computer at any location with access to the network. The carriage accepts shear box squares up to 4.0" (100mm) internal dimension. Forward and reverse measurements permit residual shear testing as standard. A built-in safety feature prevents the overloading of the load measuring system. The HM-5750A is supplied complete with a 2,000 lbf (10kN) capacity load cell; 1" (25.4mm) horizontal strain transducer, and a 0.4" (10.2mm) vertical strain transducer.

Shear box assemblies and related accessories are not included and should be ordered separately

HM-5750D.3F
The HM-5750D Direct Shear machine is an economical choice for performing direct/residual shear tests utilizing the dead-weight method and digital measuring devices. The microprocessor-based system features a stepper-motor drive system and a 7" touch-screen display that allows the operator to control and monitor all test functions. Like all Elite Series machines, the HM-5750D is built around Humboldt's integral, 4-channel data logger with touch-screen control, which allows the HM-5750D to be used as a standalone device capable of full test control and data logging. It can also be controlled by a networked computer at any location with access to the network. The carriage accepts shear box squares up to 4.0" (100mm) internal dimension. Forward and reverse measurements permit residual shear testing as standard. A built-in safety feature prevents the overloading of the load measuring system. The HM-5750D is supplied complete with a 2,200 lbf (10kN) capacity load ring and two 1.0" x 0.0001" (25.40 x 0.002mm) digital indicators.

HM-5750.3F
The HM-5750 and HM-5750M Direct Shear machines are an economical choice for performing direct/residual shear tests utilizing the dead-weight method with load rings and dial gauges.
These models include the carriage, stand, vertical load hanger and a balanced lever loading arm with a 10:1 ratio that reduces the weight required to perform tests. The micro-processor-based system features a stepper motor drive system and 7" touch-screen display.
The carriage accepts shear box squares up to 4.0" (100mm) internal dimension. Forward and reverse measurements permit residual shear testing as standard. A built-in safety feature prevents the over travel of the load measuring system.The HM-5750 and HM-5750M are supplied complete with a 2,000 lbf (10kN) capacity load ring, 1.0" x 0.001" (25.4 x 0.01mm) and 0.5" x 0.0001" (12 x 0.002mm) dial indicator.
