Impact Testers
Instron impact testers are used to characterize the impact performance of
various materials and componants - from
plastics to
finished goods. These impact testing systems utilize various technologies to deliver impact forces - including pendulum styles, drop weight styles, and machines to simulate high-rate loading.

Instron pendulums are designed to meet the growing demand for accurate and repeatable impact testing on a wide range of materials. Used to determine the mechanical and physical properties of metals, polymers, composites, and finished products for both research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC), the pendulum family is capable of performing Charpy, Izod, and Tensile tests according to international standards.
