The Mark-10 Preload Option (AF021) adds programmable preload control to your motorized test stand, allowing the crosshead to stop and/or zero the travel display at a set initial preload. This feature is especially useful in tensile, compression, spring testing, elongation, and other applications where precise preload control is critical. The preload is programmable as a percentage of the full scale of the force gauge or load cell, with three selectable modes: stop, stop and zero, or zero without stopping.
