BrochureSTEP Lab produces systems for very high dynamic mechanical tests such as high cycle fatigue or on shock absorbers.
We have the largest catalog of machines based on linear motors, divided into three families:

UD - For continuous dynamic testing over millions of cycles
HUD - Suitable for high dynamic tests and also for endurance tests due to high continuous forces
XUD - Dedicated to short-duration tests with the achievement of incredible accelerations.

In keeping with our tradition, these machines enjoy the advantages of electric machines, so they are easy to install,
non-polluting, and easy to maintain.
ELECTRODYNAMIC TESTING SYSTEMS
BrochureELECTRODYNAMIC TESTING SYSTEMSSTEP Lab is leader in the production of electrodynamic testing
systems, linear motor based. We have the widest range in the
market with dynamic load up to 60kN. and three level of speed
and dynamic.
