Ring Shear Pro Motorised Apparatus

The VJ Tech Ring Shear Motorised Pro is a torsional Bromhead style shear device, which produces accurate and repeatable test results to determine the residual shear strength of cohesive soils, which is particularly important when assessing slope stability.
The Ring Shear Motorised Pro is normally computer controlled, but can also be used in standalone control using the 7” touchscreen. It is supplied as a tabletop unit for stability and a consolidation load is applied to the annular ring sample through a stepper motor. Rotational shear displacement is applied to the sample by a separate stepper motor, through a fixed ratio gearbox, and Load is measured using a pair of Load Cells (or Load Rings if required (but note: MIT Gauges can only be used for displacement measurement)).
We can also supply a Soil-Steel Interface Top Cap which can be fitted instead of the normal Top Cap, and used in conjunction with our dedicated Test Plan which is compatible with the ICP method for the Soil-Steel Interface test.
