This test stand can be used to carry out service life tests on manual and servo-assisted rack and pinion steering systems.
Static and dynamic tests up to 30 Hz tie rod load are computer-controlled. The drive unit can be adjusted in 4 axes and the load unit in 2 axes.
The status of ongoing tests can be queried from any computer via the TCP/IP interface.
The following tests can be carried out:
- Sinusoidal speed and load specification
- Sinusoidal load specification on the tie rod with a frequency of up to 30 Hz
- Sinusoidal load specification on the tie rod at constant speed on the input shaft
- Constant load specification on the tie rod at constant speed on the input shaft
- Rotation of the input shaft with clamped track rod
The test parameters are set by computer. The recording and evaluation of measured values is also computer-controlled.
