The MEG 20 is a Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) machine dedicated to symmetric alternating tests (load ratio R=-1). It enables the characterization of the mechanical behavior of materials under fatigue.
The MEG 20 machine consists of a testing frame and a separate control cabinet called the “Grey Box”.
The testing frame can be placed on a table. It features ultrasonic excitation technology that enables the specimen of interest to be tested at a frequency of approximately 20kHz. One billion cycles is thus reached in only 14 hours, reducing the time required to obtain Wöhler curves. And of course, machine occupancy time, significantly improving return on investment!
The Grey Box contains the control/acquisition part of the device. The interface is provided via a computer application.

- Benchtop machine;
- Load ratio: R=-1 – Fully reversed tests;
- Loading frequency: 20kHz;
- Excitation amplitude: 3µm to 160µm;
- Control and data acquisition via a computer application.
