About the system

The steering column performance and durability bench tests columns for backlash, stiffness, collapse/energy absorption, adjustment forces and tilt durability. Vehicle-like mounting, twin columns and angle adjustment reproduce real use.

Technical scope

  • Input 100 Nm / output 200 Nm
  • Force 0–2000 N
  • 3 Hz
  • Specimen up to 1500 mm
  • Collapse/energy absorption

Test functions and capabilities

  • Backlash and torsional stiffness
  • Collapse and energy absorption
  • Tilt/telescopic adjustment forces
  • Tilt durability
  • Rotational durability
