Main functions

Test machines are used to estimate the fatigue life of components and/or finished products. Fatigue tests characterize the ability of a material or product to withstand cyclic loading, in order to reproduce the part’s operating conditions as closely as possible. The tension/compression fatigue test bench enables parts to be tested in tension/compression, with slow or rapid cycling (fatigue testing).

Operating mode

After positioning the part to be tested, the user defines a compression or tension test program, consisting of a sequence of function blocks. Each function performs force- or position-controlled trapezoidal or sinusoidal cycles at an adjustable frequency. The compression/tensile test is automatically stopped if the part under test breaks.
