About the system

The steering gear assembly performance and fatigue bench performs performance, fatigue and special-condition simulations on rack-and-pinion and recirculating-ball steering gears. Options include 100 kN servo loading, 10 000 Nm load torque and five-channel −40…150 °C hot/cold endurance; on hydraulic power steering systems pressure, torque and response are measured.

Technical scope

  • Rack & pinion and recirculating-ball
  • Input up to 300 Nm
  • Load torque up to 10 000 Nm
  • Servo load up to 100 kN
  • Five-channel hot/cold endurance −40…150 °C
