LINEAR MOTOR-BASED SYSTEMS

Our electrodynamic systems based on linear motors are the best solution for advanced dynamic and fatigue testing. We have divided our systems into the UD, HUD and XUD families, each designed with distinctive characteristics in terms of durability, dynamics and acceleration, making it suitable for performing a specific range of tests depending on the application.

UD

The UD Series is designed for continuous dynamic testing over millions of cycles.

HUD

The HUD Series has been designed for high dynamic and endurance tests due to the high continuous forces.

XUD

The XUD Series is designed for short duration tests with high accelerations.
