Bar Accelerator for HSRT
REL, Inc. continues to develop new testing modules for more consistent dynamic test results. REL's automated bar accelerator offers shot-to-shot consistency with an integrated SURE-Speed sensor. These accelerators can precisely accelerate striker bars for Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tension, compression, and impact testing. REL sizes the bar accelerators to handle striker bars from 1/8” diameter to 3" diameter.
Features:
- Standard barrel options for nominal 1", 2", and 3" strikers (1.5", 2.25", 3.25" respective bore diameter)
- Sleeved barrel options for special bore diameters down to 0.125"
- Operates on compressed air, nitrogen, or helium up to 300 psi (high pressure versions up to 1500 psi also available)
- Swappable barrel extensions for high velocity or long length strikers
- Auto-fire option adds servo operated control valves for all functions
- Auto-fire control box can be located up to 500' from launcher with tethered remote cable
