Model:H-RCA
Use:The resonant column lifting frame, allows a user to safely remove the triaxial cell top without the assistance of a colleague, using a cable and pulley system.
Standard:GBT 50123-2019
Hardin Type Resonant Column Apparatus (H-RCA) is a system that allows samples to be tested in resonance while maintaining an anisotropic loading up to 2kN. This is achieved by a slender, thin walled loading column passing through the drive system to the topcap. The GDS Hardin Oscillator contains an electro-magnetic drive system incorporating precision wound coils and composite sintered neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) “rare-earth” magnets.
The GDS Hardin Oscillator can be mounted in a standalone system with an integral axial force actuator (shown opposite) for post resonance testing up to 5kN. Or as a cell for integration into a standard loadframe up to 50kN.
