HIGH DYNAMIC TESTING SYSTEM

At STEP Lab, we have introduced HUD, the ultimate solution for damper and shock absorber testing. This damper test bench is specifically designed for certain tests with specific features and advantages.

  • Testing of shock absorbers for automotive, motorcycle and heavy transport industries
  • Suspension/Shock absorber high dynamic tests
  • Characterization tests
  • Durability tests
  • Closed loop control of force and displacement by Test Center control system
  • Reproduction of sinusoidal, triangular and custom profiles
  • High resolution data acquisition (24 bit)
  • Variable installation positions
  • Controller in separate and free position
  • Flexible programming of test sequences by Test Center graphic interface
  • Large variety of grips, testing tools and load cells
  • Integration with extensometers and climatic chambers
  • Exceptional dynamic performance
  • Maintenance tending to zero thanks to the absence of a mechanical transmission
  • Low power consumption thanks to the high efficiency of the electric motor and absence of mechanical transmission
  • Possibility to manage up to 10 actuators in syncronised mode so as to create a 4-poster system
  • Flexible geometrical configuration: machine can be purchased as a linear actuator without upper crossbeam columns
  • Wide range of use thanks to programmable speed from 0.01 mm/s up to 8.000 mm/s and high stroke over 200 mm
  • Easy installation thanks to the request of only one electric socket and compressed air
