About the system
The shock absorber test bench measures force-velocity and force-displacement characteristics, temperature dependence and noise of dampers. Versions include hydraulic drive, servo-motor linear drive producing true sinusoidal motion without crank linkage, and high-speed versions up to 4 m/s. Options include vertical and horizontal (0–90° tilt) mounting, a −50…180 °C climatic chamber, noise testing and a mobile test vehicle for on-site or proving-ground tuning.
Technical scope
- 25–50 kN; up to 4 m/s
- Hydraulic or servo-motor linear drive
- Vertical & horizontal (0–90°)
- Climatic chamber −50…180 °C; noise testing
- Mobile test-vehicle version
Test functions and capabilities
- Force-velocity and force-displacement curves
- Sine, triangle, square, sweep and road-profile waveforms
- Hot/cold performance (−50…180 °C)
- Damper noise test (0.01–20 Hz)
- Vertical/horizontal two-way testing, automatic clamping
- On-site tuning with mobile test vehicle
