This invention belongs to the field of tensile and compressive testing technology, and discloses a universal loading
gimbal and tensile and compressive testing method for a uniaxial tensile and compressive testing
machine. It is used to apply loads in different directions to test pieces on a uniaxial tensile and compressive testing
machine, and includes: a support platform, a horizontal longitudinal adjustment
handle, a longitudinal horizontal adjustment
drive shaft, a
drive shaft fixing cover, a horizontal adjustment platform, a
pitch steering seat, a lateral adjustment platform, a tilting table joint shaft, a rotary table adjustment
handle, a rotary table adjustment worm gear, a rotary platform, a tilting platform, a tilting angle adjustment plate, a
pitch angle adjustment movable shim, a
pitch angle adjustment fixing bolt, a pitch steering seat fixing shaft, a
pitch angle adjustment fixing pad, a
pitch angle adjustment gear, and a
pitch angle adjustment
handle; used to apply loads in different directions to test pieces on a uniaxial tensile and compressive testing
machine.
