About the system
Caliper and wheel cylinder test benches cover sealing, stiffness, fluid consumption, piston rollback, drag torque and EPB clamp force tests on hydraulic and air disc calipers and wheel cylinders. Performance benches apply up to 60 MPa (70 MPa with booster); durability benches are multi-station with a −40…150 °C environment.
Technical scope
- Hydraulic & air calipers, wheel cylinders
- Up to 60 MPa
- Vacuum <100 Pa
