Estimating the term…
A device for measuring the elastic-viscous properties of objects, in particular objects made of an elastomer material such as rubber, has a measurement body movable in relation to a holder and having a measurement head that can be set on a test object, means for moving the measurement body back and forth and means for measuring the path of displacement of the measurement head and/or the force that acts on the measurement head during the reciprocating movement of the measurement body. In order to diversify the possible uses of the device and to simplify the measurement process, the measurement body is mounted in a freely movable housing with a passage for the measurement head and a bearing surface that can be set on the test object.
Apparatus for the measurement of viscoelastic characteristics of sample bodies, in particular of sample bodies of elastomeric materials, comprising a measurement body, which has a measuring head for placement onto a sample body and is displaceably mounted in a freely movable housing having an opening for the passage of the measuring head and an abutment surface for placement onto the sample body, a piezoelement for producing to and fro movement of the measurement body and apparatus for measurement of a path of displacement of the measurement head and/or of the force acting on the measurement head during the to and fro movement of the measurement body, the measurement head being formed as a penetration body which in the zero position projects beyond the abutment surface of the housing in accordance with a desired depth of penetration.
