5000 N Tensile Stage AFH5000-1000V/ASFH5000-1200
Product Detail
InSitu Pro™ AFH5000-1000V and ASFH5000-1200 bring a 5000 N tensile force range to high-temperature in-situ testing, with interchangeable fixtures for tension, compression, shear, and bending on both models. The AFH5000-1000V runs a vacuum chamber from RT to 1000 °C under a large φ85 × 1 mm optical window (0.5% F.S., 20 mm travel); the ASFH5000-1200 is built for SEM chambers (EBSD-compatible), reaching RT to 1200 °C at a tighter 0.1% F.S. accuracy (10 mm travel) in a 230 × 161 × 60 mm body.
Key features
- 5000 N tensile forceBoth models are specified at a 5000 N force range — 0.5% F.S. accuracy on the AFH5000-1000V, and a tighter 0.1% F.S. on the ASFH5000-1200. The sensor and fixture configuration is confirmed at quotation.
- Resistive heating to 1000 / 1200 °CResistive heating at ±0.1 °C stability with Max heating 150 °C/min and a controllable cooling rate — RT to 1000 °C on the AFH5000-1000V, RT to 1200 °C on the ASFH5000-1200.
- Modular thermal design · quick-release fixture changesA modular temperature-control design with quick disassembly: changing the dedicated fixture switches the stage between tension, compression, shear, and bending, and the in-situ tensile family supports force-controlled, constant-displacement-rate, and programmable cyclic loading.
- AFH5000-1000V: vacuum chamber, φ85 windowThe chamber is specified as Vacuum, under a large φ85 × 1 mm JGS2 top window (220–2500 nm, hand-removable), with a 5 mm window-to-stage distance and a 3.5 mm chamber height for optical observation while loading.
- ASFH5000-1200: SEM / EBSD integrationSpecified as an SEM functional accessory that requires no modification of the microscope body and is compatible with EBSD mode, with an optional temperature-control module (such as the 1200 °C ultra-high-temperature module) for synchronized study of microstructural evolution and in-situ mechanical response — in a compact 230 × 161 × 60 mm, 4.5 kg body.
- Travel & speed per modelDisplacement travel of 20 mm at 0.1–5 mm/min on the AFH5000-1000V; 10 mm at 0.03–2 mm/min on the ASFH5000-1200 — matched to their chamber environments.

Heating to 1000 °C and beyond? See what a vacuum suppresses
When operated in air at elevated temperature, many metals and alloys may oxidize — the extent depends on material composition, surface condition, temperature, atmosphere, and exposure time. The AFH5000-1000V chamber is specified as Vacuum, so the vacuum panel is the relevant case for a schematic comparison — select a temperature, hold for an hour, and compare the two panels:
Model: parabolic oxidation x² = k·t with an Arrhenius rate constant — an approximation for diffusion-controlled oxidation, not every material or temperature; the vacuum panel suppresses the oxidant supply, which is the relevant case for the AFH5000-1000V vacuum chamber (actual behavior depends on the achieved pressure). The simulator’s full 200–1000 °C span lies within the AFH5000-1000V operating range; the ASFH5000-1200 itself operates to 1200 °C, so settings above 1000 °C are outside the simulator’s range. Curves are schematic, not performance data for a specific stage or sample.

FAQ
Which of the two models should I choose?
Both share the 5000 N force range and the four fixture-swap modes. Choose the AFH5000-1000V for variable-temperature tensile work under optical observation — a vacuum chamber to 1000 °C with a large φ85 mm window. Choose the ASFH5000-1200 for in-situ work inside an SEM — a compact body reaching 1200 °C at a tighter 0.1% F.S. force accuracy, so microstructure can be imaged directly under load, with EBSD mode compatible.
How does the ASFH5000-1200 mount inside an SEM?
The OEM describes it as an SEM functional accessory that does not require modification of the microscope body and is compatible with EBSD mode. Custom flanges are listed as an option, and microscope-specific mounting geometry is confirmed at quotation.
What does the vacuum chamber on the AFH5000-1000V change?
The chamber row of its specification lists Vacuum. When the stage is operated under vacuum, the oxidant supply can be reduced — actual behavior depends on the achieved pressure, sample material, temperature, and exposure time; the simulator above shows the comparison schematically. The vacuum arrangement and pumping configuration for your installation are confirmed at quotation.
Which loading modes are supported?
The in-situ tensile family supports constant-load (force-controlled), constant-displacement-rate (displacement-controlled), and programmable cyclic loading, in tension, compression, shear, and bending by fixture swap. Combined with the temperature module, this enables real-time, synchronized characterization of dynamic mechanical response and in-situ microstructure evolution.
How do I order?
Both stages are supplied by quotation: request via this page or the InSitu Pro™ Stage Selector, and our engineers confirm the model, fixtures, force range, and configuration for your measurement and reply with pricing and lead time.
