KUD SERIES

Introducing KUD, our new series of test machines for high-dynamic durability testing of shock absorbers and suspensions.KUD systems are designed to replace hydraulic systems, and thanks to advanced technology and the powerful motor in use can develop peak loads up to 160 kN and continuous dynamic loads up to 82 kN.

The KUD series is ideal for durability and reliability tests on suspensions and shock absorbers, with the ability to run billions of cycles or short sequences at high performance on single or multiple samples.

  • New guides for testing billions of cycles
  • New linear motors with 20% lower inertia
  • Optimised cooling system for continuous and very long tests
  • Closed-loop force and displacement control via Test Center controller
  • Support of a range of optional hardware for a wide range of performance tests
  • Ability to generate a full spectrum of waveforms (sine, triangular, square, sine-on-sine, sine sweep, double-speed sine and triangular, and block cyclic)
  • High-resolution 24-bit data acquisition
  • Control station in separate and independent position
  • Simple and flexible test management via PC-based Test Center graphical interface
  • Wide variety of grips, dedicated test accessories, and load cells
  • Integration with extensometers and climatic chambers
  • Outstanding dynamic performance
  • Zero maintenance due to the absence of a mechanical transmission
  • Very low power consumption thanks to the high efficiency of the electric motor
  • Flexible geometric configuration
  • Wide range of use
  • Easy installation (Plug&Play)
  • Competitive purchase cost
