The test bench allows for testing of various types of hydraulic dampers used in rail vehicles.
A characteristic curve is obtained that shows the dependency between the damping force on the shock absorber stroke.


FEATURES
  • Load force acting axially on the tested damper,
  • Ensures required forces and speeds of the damper,
  • Stroke speed adjustment,
  • Adjustment of the damper to a position corresponding with rail vehicle operating conditions by means of an angular pivoting mechanism,
  • Electronic control of the testing process,
  • Test is fully automated,
  • Measurement data are recorded, archived and can be printed out,
  • Temperature compensation (operating environment simulation).

TEST BENCH COMPONENTS
  • Rigid mechanical structure,
  • Mounting clamps that do not require damper rubber components to be dismantled,
  • Servomotor drives responsible for pivoting and test of a damper
  • Electrical cabinet built into the device structure,
  • PLC controller, computer with database.


  • Angle adjustment range: up to 90°
  • Min. damper length: 200 mm
  • Max. damper length: 1200 mm
  • Working stroke: 300, 350 mm
  • Maximum test force: 30 kN
  • Maximum speed (adjustable): 0 - 0,3 m/s
  • Maximum acceleration: 20 m/s²
