R.R.

Moore
The R. R. Moore, recognized as the standard for rotating beam fatigue testing, has been serving the industry faithfully for more than 75 years. Over that time the system, which features a rugged cast aluminum frame and heavy duty bearing housings, has demonstrated unsurpassed quality in machine design.

Rotating Beam Fatigue Testing System

Theory of Operation
Based on the rotating beam principle, the specimen functions as a simple beam, symmetrically loaded at two points. When rotated one half revolution, the stresses in the bers originally below the neutral axis are reversed from tension to compression and vice versa. Upon completing the revolution, the stresses are again reversed so that during one revolution the test specimen passes through a complete cycle of exural stress (tension and compression).

Features
Standard machine operates at an adjustable speed of 500 to 10,000 RPM. Speed stability is 2% of setpoint assuming a constant line voltage. Speed will change proportionally to line voltage. A voltage stabilizer is available as an option to minimize brief voltage uctuations. At the nominal rate of 10,000 RPM, the R. R. Moore completes 600,000 cycles per hour (14,400,000 cycles per day). Integrated variable speed control provides the machine capability to operate at speeds from 500 to 10,000 RPM. Speed control is important in testing certain alloys that heat up when highly stressed. It also allows certain correlations of results between high speed tests and previous lower speed tests. An easy-to-read digital cycle counter with magnetic pickup device provides an accurate display of completed cycles in display increments of 1 cycle per count up to 99,999,999 counts. Push button controls are provided to reset the display count at the start of a test. Display is equipped with a battery back-up so that count data is not lost in the event of power failure. Interlocked clear Lexan test space enclosure prevents machine operation until closed to prevent operator injury Conforms to DIN 50113 and ISO 1143 standards.

Specimen Loading
Products for Materials Testing The R. R. Moore machine can be equipped to test either straight shank or tapered-end specimens. The standard specimen length is 3-7/16 in (87.3 mm). Specimens approximately 1 in (25.4 mm) longer or shorter can be used without affecting the calibration of the machine. Straight shank specimens are held in place using precision specimen collets. Tapered-end specimens are machined to match the tapers within spindles of the machine and held in place using threaded drawbars. To ensure precision, stress is applied to the specimen by direct application of deadweights. Maximum ber stress in a specimen having a 0.300 in (7.62 mm) diameter is 75,000 psi (517 Mpa). By decreasing the diameter, the value of the maximum ber stress can be increased.
