LINEAR ACTUATORS – SERIES

At STEP Lab, we have designed three series of testing machines based on electric linear actuators:

  • UD Series: ideal for continuous dynamic testing with millions of cycles.
  • HUD Series: suitable for endurance testing due to high dynamic forces.
  • XUD Series: dedicated to short-term tests with higher accelerations.

These machines, all based on linear actuators, follow our tradition and consequently offer all the distinctive advantages of electrical technologies.

  • Closed-loop force and displacement control via Test Center controller
  • High-resolution data acquisition in 24bit
  • Can be installed on any type of structure
  • Up to 8 controlled and synchronised axes
  • Control station in separate and independent position
  • Simple and flexible test management via a graphical Test Center interface
  • Wide variety of grips, dedicated test accessories, and load cells
  • Integration with extensometers and climatic chambers
  • Wide operating range, manageable speeds from 0.01mm/s up to 2,000mm/s, and high stroke of 100mm
