Biocycle V1
The Biocycle performs mechanical fatigue tests that bring testing closer to the conditions found in the human mouth, improving in vitro research methods that simulate human chewing. The mechanical cycling machine can perform compression or impact tests over a force range that can be set as needed between 0 and 200 kgf (approx. 2 kN) (depending on the version). Because it is driven by compressed air, it can reach frequencies of up to 5 Hz without losing efficiency, and up to 10 Hz in specific cases. Its structure allows 2 to 12 test specimens to be tested at a time, so mechanical fatigue tests can run simultaneously.
