STEP LAB
THE ELECTRODYNAMIC TESTING MACHINE EXPERTS
Welcome to STEP Lab, leading company in the production of electrically actuated machines for mechanical testing. We specialise in the manufacture of:
- Electromechanical systems for low/medium dynamic testing.
- Linear motor-based systems for high dynamic tests.
- Drop weight towers.
- Climatic chambers to accompany our test systems.
- Control electronics and interface software for managing single/multi-axis tests with unrivalled accuracy and flexibility.
We develop and manufacture all our systems at our Italian headquarters, thus guaranteeing quality and constant improvement of our products.
At STEP Lab, we are also proud of the high eco-sustainability of our systems, which are able to achieve an overall energy efficiency of 90%, no emissions of harmful substances and low noise levels.
We work closely with you every day to meet your product and material control needs efficiently and reliably. Our modular architecture allows us to offer both standard and customised solutions to meet your specific requirements.
OUR TESTING SYSTEMS
DYNAMIC TEST SYSTEMS
DISCOVER OUR SERIES: UD & EA
The UD series includes electrodynamic actuators based on linear motors for high-dynamic tests with loads up to 100 kN and accelerations of tens of g, while the EA series includes electromechanical actuators with loads up to 200 kN and accelerations of up to 2 g. Each series includes different models to suit every industry need.
DAMPER TEST SYSTEMS
FOR CARS, MOTORBIKES AND TRUCKS
Our electric shock absorber test systems are designed to outperform hydraulic systems, effectively meeting the demand for high performance, easy installation and low power consumption. We offer the widest range of suspension and shock absorber test rigs on the market, with peak dynamic loads up to 120 kN and continuous dynamic loads up to 75 kN.
IMPACT TEST SYSTEMS
PRECISE UNIAXIAL AND MULTIAXIAL IMPACT PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS
Our impact testing systems are versatile and suitable for a wide variety of products and materials. The large volume available for sample placement further enhances the testing capabilities of our drop towers. In addition, we supply a comprehensive selection of accessories, including load cells, anti-rebound systems, spring accelerators and an impressive array of impactors and instrumented specimen holders for our testing machines.
MULTI-ACTUATOR TEST SYSTEMS
COMPLEX STRUCTURES WITH UP TO EIGHT ACTUATORS
- Axial-torsional systems
- Multi-axial systems
- Planar-cruciform systems
STATIC TEST SYSTEMS
FOR STATIC APPLICATIONS, VERSATILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
Our static testing machines are designed in-house with electromechanical actuators and offer loads from 200 N to 268 kN. Certified to ISO, EN and ASTM standards, they guarantee high performance through advanced measurement and control systems.
ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY TEST SYSTEMS
FOR DMA/NVH TESTING UP TO 1000 HZ
The UHF series can reach frequencies up to 1000 Hz. These systems are designed to analyse the dynamic behaviour of materials and components, offering high performance for DMA, NVH and HCF applications.
FOOTWEAR TEST SYSTEMS
FOR DYNAMIC APPLICATIONS, VERSATILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
Our footwear testing machines are designed to evaluate the performance and reliability of a wide range of footwear. Powered by a robust brushless motor, they deliver high forces up to 1600 Nm and speeds up to 300°/s.
CLIMATIC CHAMBERS
FOR LOW/HIGH TEMPERATURE TESTING
Our environmental chambers are designed for outstanding performance as stand-alone units or in combination with mechanical testing machines. Our environmental chambers offer precise temperature management, with an adjustable range from -70°C to 180°C, and precise humidity control.
ACCESSORIES AND COMPONENTS
EXTENSOMETERS, GRIPS AND MORE
In addition to complete test systems, we also offer a complete range of components and accessories for mechanical testing of products and materials such as stand-alone actuators, optical and contact extensometers, fixations and grips.
