Multi-axial Test on Air Bearings Zwick’s customer needed to deter-mine the performance and quality attributes of an air spring under axial and horizontal loading conditions. This system consists of a Zwick floor-standing 250 kN test machine adapted with a horizontal electro- mechanical drive and a load mea- surement platform with five force transducers to measure the complex loads. Finally, the system is equipped with a horizontal loading carriage which facilitates loading of the test specimen and horizontal articulation. Axial Fatigue of ProductionDampeners A Zwick tabletop servohydraulic testsystem is used to perform dynamic tests on elastomeric and metal dam- pener component in a production environment. Typical properties determined may include spring constant, dynamic modulus, phase shift and dynamic performance over a specified frequency range (E.g. sine sweep). The system consists of safety “light curtain” and requires operator to place both hands on starter panel prior to machine operation.
