Physica MCR Rheometer Series

The Physica MCR rheometers are based on a concept at the cutting edge of technology. The EC motor technique, the low friction bearing and the patented normal force sensor have been optimized over years to satisfy the highest demands of rheologists. Any type or combination of rheological tests, both in rotational and oscillatory mode, are possible with the Physica MCR rheometers. The modularity of the system allows the integration of a wide range of temperature accessories and special modules. The innovative and patented features Toolmaster™ and TruGap™ are breakthroughs in terms of user-friendliness.

Technical highlights

  • Powerful, synchronous EC motor drive
  • High-precision air bearing, including patented sensor for normal force measurement 
  • TruGap™: Innovative and patented system for measuring the gap 
  • Real-time position control oscillation (DSO): Fast and accurate strain control  
  • Nanorheology for nanomaterial science 
  • Different MCR models with outstanding specifications for various applications 

Ease of use

  • Toolmaster™: Patented system for automatic recognition of measuring system and accessories 
  • Quickfit coupling: Easy, one-hand measuring system connection
  • Wide range of measuring systems for all kinds of applications 
  • Ethernet connection for remote control of the instrument through the company network
  • RheoPlus: User-friendly application software with 21 CFR Part 11 compatibility and LIMS/SAP interface

Wide range of accessories

  • Temperature accessories in the temperature range from -150 °C to +1000 °C
  • Special accessories for DMA and DMTA measurements, rheo-optics, magneto- and electrorheology, interfacial rheology, UV curing and many other applications

 

All instruments of the Physica MCR series are equipped with the Toolmaster™ system for automatic recognition of the measuring system and accessories. All systems are interchangeable between the different models.
