Fatigue testers

Fatigue testing machines are used to determine the performance of materials and products. Compared to static testing machines, dynamic fatigue testing machines are able to test materials under realistic loading conditions to evaluate their fatigue strength, elasticity and other mechanical properties. We use various physical drive principles for our dynamic testing machines. Each method has its own advantages and specific application ranges. This allows us to find the right solution for every one of your specifications. Fatigue-torsion testing machines are available in the form of servohydraulic machines or electrodynamic machines. Our axial torsion testing machines cover a wide range of torsion tests and can be adapted to your specific applications.

• The LTM is an electrodynamic testing machine with a drive based on linear motor technology. It can be used for dynamic fatigue tests, as well as for static materials and component testing. The electrodynamic LTM testing machine is used by industries that favor oil free and low noise drive technology, such as the medical and electronics industries/ The LTM additionally offers flexible application options for the automotive and plastics sectors.

• Servohydraulic testing machines are used to determine material characteristic values under vibrating loads, including S-N tests (high cycle fatigue tests), LCF tests (low cycle fatigue) or fracture mechanics tests.

• The HTM series servohydraulic high-speed testing machines allow you to determine strain-rate-dependent characteristic values over a wide speed range. Uses for machine include puncture tests and high-speed tensile tests, as well as peel, and shear tests at high speeds.

• Vibrophores are resonance testing machines that use a mechanical resonator in connection with an electromagnetic drive. The vibrophore’s electromagnetic drive delivers large force amplitudes with low energy input, so they work more efficiently than conventional instruments.

• The electromechanical servo-testing actuators can be universally used as flexible testing machines. They can be easily integrated in test fixtures for both static tests or fatigue tests with large strokes. Applications range from materials and components testing to tests performed on end products.
