Ares-G2 by TA Instruments (USA) is the most advanced separated-motor-and-transducer (SMT) rotational rheometer for research and material development. Its separate motor and transducer technology insures the most reliable rheological data through independent control of torque and measurement of stress. It remains the only commercially available rheometer with a dedicated actuator for deformation control, Torque Rebalance Transducer (TRT), and Force Rebalance Transducer (FRT) for independent shear stress and normal stress measurements. An amount of a sample depends on used geometry dimensions but it is typically few milliliters (grams) of measured material.
