About This Product
A flex tester of the Schildknecht type bends and straightens test specimens again and again to show how they behave under repeated flexing. One end of each specimen is held in a fixed grip and the other end in the reciprocating grip, which moves to give the flexing and unflexing action. Because the moving grip sits between two fixed grips, half of the specimens are flexed while the other half are unflexed. The counter records the number of cycles completed.
