eXpert 5900
Modular testing system with load capacities from 1 kN to 10 kN
The eXpert 5900 series machines perform fatigue testing up to 15Hz in frequency and provide up to 14kN in load capacity. Custom designs are also available. The 5900 series actuators are a unique electromechanical design that features a direct drive bearingless motor, flooded bearing stack, and ball screw with continuous lubrication. This design greatly extends the life of the actuator and is ideal for performing cyclic tests at small or large amplitudes over millions of cycles. This makes Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) and High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) tests a possibility up to the 15Hz range.
Customized for Your Needs
Design modularity is a core value in all of our eXpert 5900 products. Every dual column tester can fit comfortably on a bench-top with plenty of room to spare. You’ll find that with the clean and compact designs we provided, installation, sample handling, test execution, and analysis is easy.
Single or Dual Column
The eXpert 5900 series can be offered in either single- or dual-column configurations. If you seek a lightweight machine or horizontal testing, a single-column testing system may be for you. If you need the extra strength for higher force ranges, dual-column may be more appropriate. Whatever the case, we will design a system to meet your needs.
Static and Dynamic Options Available
The eXpert 5000 series can run both static tests at high crosshead speeds and dynamic tests on the order of 1 to 10 Hz, depending on the test profile. When complex test profiles are needed, the eXpert 5000 series is most often the solution. Due to the product modularity, drive systems and actuators can be easily customized to deliver peak performance for any profile needed.
Specialized Capability
We can provide engineered-to-order products including higher force capacity, extended stroke, increased distance between columns and more. Systems can be equipped with a variety of grips, fixtures, heating & cooling chambers, and temperature controlled baths to accommodate a wide range of testing requirements.

Advanced Control Systems
ADMET materials testing systems are built around closed-loop servo control, enabling precise regulation of load, position, and strain throughout a test. On advanced systems, that control is paired with a PC-based software environment designed to support complex test execution and detailed data analysis. Users can define custom test sequences, apply advanced load and motion profiles, and precisely manage transitions between ramps, holds, and cyclic segments. High-resolution data acquisition and configurable reporting tools support in-depth evaluation of results and straightforward alignment with ASTM and ISO requirements. This architecture is well suited for research-driven testing, evolving test methods, and applications where flexibility and data quality directly affect outcomes.
MTESTQuattro
MTESTQuattro is the PC-based controller and materials testing software platform behind most ADMET materials testing systems. It delivers precise closed-loop control with an 8 kHz servo update rate, high-resolution data acquisition, and built-in ASTM/ISO test workflows. The blue controller manages real-time machine motion and translates sensor inputs, while the software handles test setup, execution, analysis, and reporting. Together, they enable repeatable tensile, compression, flexural, fatigue, and custom test methods for both routine QA and advanced R&D, making MTESTQuattro a scalable solution for new test systems and retrofit applications alike.
Precise Control
Both control platforms use closed-loop servo control to regulate load, position, and strain throughout a test. High update rates and responsive feedback help maintain stable loading during ramps, holds, and cyclic profiles. This level of control supports accurate, repeatable results across a wide range of materials testing applications. Consistent control behavior also reduces test-to-test variability when running long series or multi-specimen programs.
Intuitive Test Setup
ADMET control systems are designed to streamline test setup while maintaining flexibility. Standard test methods can be configured quickly, and custom test sequences can be built as needed using the testing software. Clear workflows reduce setup time, limit operator error, and support consistent testing across users and shifts. Saved test configurations allow validated methods to be reused without rebuilding procedures for each run.
Powerful Analysis and Reporting
Test data is captured in real time and processed using built-in materials testing software aligned with ASTM and ISO requirements. Results can be reviewed, compared, and exported in standard formats for traceability. This supports audit-ready documentation for both research and quality-focused testing environments. Automated calculations and standardized reports help ensure results are interpreted consistently across projects and teams.

Long-term Value
With every purchase, ADMET offers free technical and application support for the life of your testing system. Whether you’re faced with a technical challenge or need an outside perspective on test design, we will partner with you to make your testing easy and successful.
Calibration Services
ADMET offers calibration services on new materials testing systems both before shipment and as a field service for any customer in need. Although ADMET utilizes the highest quality equipment available, regular calibration ensures that these components perform as required so the results generated can be trusted with confidence. A list of ADMET’s accredited calibration scope is available via the link.
Retrofit Capabilities
ADMET can extend the life of an aging testing system of any brand with our retrofit services. We often upgrade older systems with modern controllers, advanced software, and new fixturing to meet today’s materials testing needs. This extends lifespan, improves functionality, and improves the lifetime value of your investment. For a list of our retrofit capabilities, visit our retrofit webpage.
