A smart, communication-enabled load unit that generates tensile or compressive forces in any direction and measures both the applied force and the loading angle. Length and angle adjustments are stepless, and two extensions extend the reach for larger experimental geometries. The module clips into the
ST500 digital experiment frame without cabling and is identified automatically by position and orientation. Force and angle are displayed on the local OLED and streamed in real time to the Sangari software.
