ULTRA-HIGH DYNAMIC TESTING SYSTEM

At STEP Lab, we have introduced XUD, the ultra-high dynamic solution for shock absorbers and suspensions.

  • Shock absorber/suspension high dynamic tests
  • Characterization tests
  • Reliability tests
  • High strain rate tests up to 6 m/s
  • 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 up to 6.000 mm/s and high stroke over 200 mm
  • Easy installation thanks to the request of only one electric socket and compressed air
