The MCR 702e MultiDrive is the most versatile and powerful dynamic mechanical analyzer platform of solid, soft, and liquid samples. Users can perform dynamic mechanical analysis in tension, torsion, bending, and compression, standard and highly sophisticated rheological measurements, and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) with one instrument. The device also determines Young's modulus and shear modulus within one test of one specimen, opening up a new field of material characterization. The modularity of the system can integrate a wide range of temperature devices, as well as application-specific accessories and measuring systems to cover all requirements of different applications.
Key features
Make use of two drive units for all of your applications
The combination of an air-bearing-supported upper rotational drive, air-bearing-supported lower linear drive and optical encoder technology enables you to perform linear dynamic mechanical analysis in a force range from 0.5 mN to 40 N, as well as torsional dynamic mechanical analysis in a torque range from 0.5 nNm to 230 mNm. With just one instrument, DMA in tension, bending, compression and torsion, rheological investigations and experiments in thermomechanical analysis can be carried out. This flexible concept allows you to perform a variety of different measurement tasks that are unique to the Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer. It is the application alone that determines which measurement mode you work in.
Material characterization like never before
The state-of-the-art moving-magnet motor and EC motor technology performs dynamic mechanical analysis in tension and torsion within one test definition and one specimen. This axial-torsional DMA determines the complex Young’s (E*) and shear (G*) modulus as a function of temperature, frequency, time or humidity within a single experiment. For the first time, the Poisson's ratio of isotropic materials can be determined using a single sample. In addition, when investigating anisotropic materials, fast direction-dependent characterization is possible, enabling a more comprehensive analysis of the sample properties.
Control the greatest influence of all – temperature
Convection temperature devices are optimized to generate a homogeneous temperature distribution necessary for accurate control of the sample temperature. Additionally, low-temperature options based on a gas chiller (-90 °C) or liquid nitrogen (-160 °C) option can be used for precisely controlled cooling. Furthermore, a controlled relative humidity can be applied to the sample in combination with temperature. Each standard measuring system includes an integrated temperature sensor located close to the clamped sample. In this way, the measured temperature offers high precision and reproducibility over the entire temperature range without human intervention.
Customize with special accessories and customized solutions
Anton Paar, with its in-house development and production team, is able to provide devices and accessories for special applications. MCR 702e Space MultiDrive, for example, maximizes working space to accommodate accessories and complementary measuring instruments. Accessories are available for characterizing solids which are immersed in a liquid or which have to be characterized at temperatures down to -170 °C or up to 1,000 °C. Shafts can also be combined with any disposable or customized geometry. For testing powdery samples Anton Paar offers material pockets in combination with the typical DMA measuring systems in bending mode.
Broaden your capacities with over 200 rheological accessories
In addition to classic dynamic mechanical analysis, rheological measurements open up the possibility of characterizing the deformation behavior of solids and the flow behavior of liquids. To measure different kinds of samples, users require a variety of different measuring systems, accessories, and temperature devices. With the linear motor unit removed, MCR 702e MultiDrive is ready to be equipped with any measuring geometry, temperature device, and/or application-specific accessory from the Anton Paar MCR series in order to carry out standard and sophisticated rheological analyses of samples.
Convenient setup and ease of use
All temperature devices and measuring geometries can be integrated and exchanged, and your MCR 702e MultiDrive can adapt to each new setup as a versatile dynamic mechanical analyzer. The QuickConnect function allows one-hand connection and ensures fast, convenient system changes within seconds without a screwing mechanism. The patented Toolmaster feature automatically recognizes and configures all connected devices and measuring geometries. To control the MCR 702e MultiDrive, you can rely on our multifunctional and intuitive RheoCompass software which helps you find the predefined or customized test templates you need, customize tests and analysis definitions, export your data, and generate reports.

1) In oscillation a maximum displacement of ± 4,500 μm.
2) In controlled shear stress (CSS) mode. In controlled shear rate (CSR) mode depending on measuring point duration and sampling rate.
3) Higher frequencies are possible using multi-wave functionality (942 rad/s (150 Hz) or even higher, depending on measuring system and sample).
4) Set frequencies below 10-4 rad/s are of no practical relevance due to the measuring point duration >1 day.
5) Theoretical value (length of one cycle = 2 years).
6) Limits depend on convection temperature device used and measuring systems. Customized low-temperature option for temperatures down to -170 °C available upon request.
