[0080] This invention relates to a vertical uniaxial testing machine. For balanced preloading, a two-piece assembly method is used; the data obtained is divided by 2 to obtain the data for a single piece. First, the bushing to be tested is pressed into the fixed seat. Then, the fixed seat is fixed to the support plate via a central shaft (or a standard part). The support plate is fixed to the lower worktable of the testing equipment. The displacement obtained by preload calculation is adjusted by adjusting the top column to control the distance between the fixed seats, thus achieving the application of the preload. Finally, the preloaded fixed seat is connected to the worktable of the testing equipment using a fixed plate and an adapter plate, allowing for the conduct of relevant experiments. This invention achieves unidirectional preloading through the assembly of two bushings, thereby testing stiffness in other directions. It can perform three-dimensional stiffness testing of products with preloaded bushings on a uniaxial testing machine, requiring minimal tooling investment, offering high measurement accuracy, and facilitating assembly. After completing the stiffness test in one direction, the stiffness tests in the other two directions can be completed through tooling flipping and simple assembly. Utilizing a simple plate and shaft structure combination design, various experiments under complex experimental conditions can be performed on existing equipment.
