A material testing machine is provided, in which a motor is used as a driving source of a loading mechanism, and the material testing machine can always perform a material test accurately, without requiring skilled operators, trial and error, or a longer time when setting control gains. A ratio K(t) of an inspection value F(t) of a control quantity to a displacement θ(t) of a motor 21 is calculated sequentially, and a value proportional to a value obtained by dividing a deviation {FD(t)−F(t)} by the calculated ratio K(t) is taken as a rotation angle command and supplied to a servo amplifier 36. The servo amplifier 36 supplies a current to the motor 21. Therefore, as the test proceeds, appropriate gains are automatically calculated and set, a gain setting operation before test is not necessary, and the material test can be always performed accurately.
