The 500LE2 Series Planar Biaxial system performs fatigue, dynamic characterization and static tests of native and replacement biological samples and materials. The system measures and controls four actuators that are controlled to produce equal and opposite motion and loads on two axis perpendicular to each other. Each axis can be controlled in load, strain or position control. Systems are configured to match each customers load and stroke requirements, like all TestResources systems.

Each system includes
- 500L vibration isolated test table – sized to requirements
- Four actuators selected to match test requirements.
- Two load cells and stroke sensors.
- Power Packs
- 2350 Controller populated with 24 bit signal conditioning cards
- Multichannel Control Software
- PC
- Optional Grips
- Optional Biobath for sample immersion in saline at 37C
- Optional video biaxial strain control software (requires camera).

The system consists of four actuators arranged 90 degrees apart. Two master – slave actuators are on one axis and two master – slave actuators are on the other axis. The actuator pair operates in load, strain or position control, ensuring sample center point can be maintained at 0,0 - which is critical in situations where video is used for real time strain control.
