Product Detail

Polytevo Series Charpy Impact Tester (ACS-4020) is a digital Charpy impact tester with a 150° pendulum lift angle, pendulum energy ranges from 1 J to 50 J (one range or all), a touch screen and a built-in micro printer, for impact testing of rigid plastics and other non-metallic materials.

ACS-4020 Charpy impact tester with pendulum, specimen supports and touch screen
Polytevo Series Charpy Impact Tester (ACS-4020) — image shown for reference.

The ACS-4020 is used to determine the impact resistance of rigid plastics, glass-fiber-reinforced plastics, electrical insulating materials, ceramics and cast stone and other non-metallic materials in quality control, research and testing laboratories. A high-precision encoder measures the pendulum angle, a carbon-fiber pendulum rod reduces errors caused by rod mass, and the absorbed energy is shown directly on the display, so there is no dial reading error.

Why choose the ACS-4020

Three pendulum energy ranges1 / 2 / 4 / 5 J, 7.5 / 15 J and 25 / 50 J; choose one range or all ranges.
Encoder measurementA high-precision photoelectric encoder removes pointer friction error and keeps operation simple.
Carbon-fiber pendulum rodReduces errors caused by the mass of the rod.
Low-friction bearingsHigh-precision imported ball bearings keep pendulum energy loss to a minimum.
Touch screen and built-in correctionThe LCD touch screen shows the absorbed energy directly, with built-in energy-loss correction.
Built-in micro printerPrints the test report; PC software is available as an option.
Four support spansSpecimen support span of 40, 60, 70 or 95 mm.
Changeable pendulumsMultiple pendulums and matching supports can be configured and are easy to change; an optional safety guard net is available.

Frequently asked questions

What impact energies are available?

Three optional ranges: 1 / 2 / 4 / 5 J, 7.5 / 15 J and 25 / 50 J. You can choose one range or all ranges; the pendulums and weight sets supplied follow the selection on the quotation.

Does the ACS-4020 also run Izod tests?

No. The ACS-4020 is a Charpy impact tester. Izod tests use the separate ACS-4021 Izod impact tester.

Which test methods does it reference?

Designed with reference to ISO 179 for Charpy impact testing.

What is the pendulum lift angle and impact speed?

150° lift angle; 2.9 m/s for 1–5 J and 3.8 m/s for 7.5–50 J.

What power supply does it need?

AC 220 V ±10%, 50 Hz, 200 W.
