Side compression system

The side compression system is used to test the vehicle structure according to the FMVSS 214s test regulation, but is also used for numerous customer-specific special tests.

Depending on the test configuration, the pressure post can be increased in 50 mm increments. The integrated line laser makes it easy to align the structure to be tested with the pile.

The system can be moved 300 mm in height via an electric hoist.

Force measurement is performed as standard with 2 triaxial load cells, each with 250 kN nominal force in X, and 100 kN in Y and Z directions.

The system is characterized by its extremely rigid design, which keeps the system-specific deformations to a minimum. The travel distance, free from the influence of force, can be measured via a separate wire-actuated potentiometer.

Properties

  • Compressive and tensile force: 300 kN at 15 mm/s feed rate
  • Stroke: 750 mm max.
  • Optional: 6-axis load cells
  • Customer-specific special requests can be implemented at any time
