Used to reduce the vertical clearance between the compression platens, according to the height of the specimen to be tested, so to avoid the ram to make its max.excursion (approx.50-55 mm) without having compressed the specimen. The distance pieces are placed between the ram and the lower compression platen.
Distance pieces dia. 210 mm, finish-grinding, for “high stability” machines: 2000kN, 3000kN, 2000kN blocks and 3000kN blocks.
High 50 mm
