About the system
Ball joint and tie-rod test benches cover performance, light/heavy-duty durability, hot/cold environmental durability and boot corrosion tests for inner and outer ball joints, tie rods and constant-velocity links. Axial, radial and torsional loads are applied simultaneously on 3–5 axes together with swing and rotation motions. Static/dynamic stiffness, displacement and wear are measured, and overload protection is standard.
Technical scope
- 3–5 axes
- 30–100 kN
- −40…150 °C
- Salt/mud spray
Test functions and capabilities
- Static/dynamic load, stiffness and displacement
- Axial, radial and torsional loading
- Wear and play measurement
- Hot/cold climatic durability and mud spray
- Boot corrosion: salt spray, 3/6 stations
- Rotating and swing torque performance tests
