ELECTROMECHANICAL MACHINES

Our in-house designed electromechanical test systems cover a load range from 200 N to 268 kN and offer a wide range of speeds, high-quality load frames, and intelligent drive systems. Certified to ISO, EN and ASTM standards, these electromechanical machines guarantee high performance through the use of advanced measurement and control systems.

Designed for dynamic and fatigue tests (billions of cycles)
Improved actuator size-to-force ratio
Dynamic load range up to 200 kN
Operate in single or multi-actuator mode
Zero maintenance and easy installation
Low energy consumption

Info

They are not just simple electromechanical actuators but true electrical machines for any type of application where high performance is required:

Material Testing Laboratories – used in conjunction with our standard facilities, controller and Test Center software, highly reliable and flexible testing machines are created that are perfect for testing all types of materials for static and dynamic characterisation.
Product test laboratories for quality certification – used in conjunction with the Test Center controller and software, they can be mounted alone or together with other actuators on structures built by STEP Lab or directly by the customer to perform even complex tests on products.
In the production line – for press-fit or quality control, the actuators’ combination of sophisticated control, dedicated quality control software and high-precision mechanical components make them perfect for repeated testing over large numbers of cycles even in H24 applications
