Abstract
The invention relates to a method of attaining a rigid loading device for simultaneous measuring of small forces and small movements in a testing machine intended for greater forces and movements. According to the invention a preferably annular yoke (20) dimensioned to carry the loading capacity of the testing machine, is applied in the testing machine. By using the well-defined relationship between force and deformation of the yoke, the deformation of a test piece (11) placed within the yoke is measured and controlled. At the same time the force against the test piece is measured by a force transducer (10) also placed within the yoke. The measuring range of said force transducer is chosen to meet the required load capacity for the testing.
