A mechanical fatigue test device was developed to perform different fatigue test in a single machine, including: bending, torsion, rotating bending, and combined bending-torsion. The machine does not exceed 10 Kg of weigh, has 10 N-m of torque capability for torsional test and reaches 500 N of bending load. A servo and a linear actuators conduce the movement of torsion and flexion respectively, both of them has a power supply of 12 V DC and are controller by the CM-900 card, that is an embedded board based on STMicroelectronics and it hardware and software are opensource. The programing card involves the control of test type, the selection of frequency and the applying load. The Fatigue machine has a led display that shows the number of cycles of fatigue life in real time. Both, the cycles counter and the machine stop simultaneously when specimen is broken. The subjection of test specimen is perfectly aligned by alignment guides and two quickaction chucks of 12.7 mm, and the longitude of the specimen can be adjusted from 30 mm to 140 mm. This machine is in process of patent demand to IMPI (Mexican Institute of Industrial Propriety). The general aspects of conception and construction are shown and conclusions are enlisted.
