Accessory for MCR:
Dielectric Spectrometer

  • +6
  • Combine rheology and dielectric spectroscopy
  • Study a material’s response to an applied electric field
  • Gain information on a material’s structure and behavior

Our Dielectro-Rheological Device (DRD) is a dielectric spectrometer that combines rheology (as a mechanical spectroscopy method) and dielectric spectroscopy, to give you deeper insight into your sample’s behavior while an electric field is applied.

Key features

Dielectric spectrometers that extend your capabilities

Dielectric spectrometers that extend your capabilities

  • Get measurement data from mechanical and dielectric spectroscopy at the same time
  • Investigate the influence of mechanical deformation on the conductivity, capacity, and permittivity of the sample
  • Extend your MCR rheometer to a measurable frequency range
  • Perform stand-alone dielectric measurements
Combined methods for more sample information

Combined methods for more sample information

  • Use both mechanical and dielectric spectroscopy for deeper insight into your sample’s behavior
  • Detect and monitor structural changes in curing materials or temperature-related phase transitions
Modular MCR rheometers for any need

Modular MCR rheometers for any need

  • Use the DRD at temperatures between -160 °C and +600 °C
  • Use one of several suitable contact options depending on temperature range and application:
    • Spring contact for rotational tests
    • Wire-shaft contact for oscillatory tests
    • Electrolyte contact in the range from -50 °C to +100 °C for oscillatory and rotational tests
  • Mount the DRD to a convection temperature device (CTD) 
  • Conduct measurements in single-drive and TwinDrive mode
  • Combine various LCR meters depending on the required dielectric measurement range 
  • Take pictures and record videos of the sample with the Digital Eye Camera in the CTD (optional)
Features that simplify your measurements

Features that simplify your measurements

  • Ensure flexible test programming in rotation and oscillation mode with the RheoCompass™ software 
  • Use the RheoCompass™ software to analyze and display rheological and dielectric measurement data (including master curve generation) while synchronizing the LCR meter of the DRD with the MCRe via trigger impulse
  • Benefit from automatic recognition and configuration of all connected devices and measuring geometries with Toolmaster™
