Radial Impact Simulators

The simulator for radial impact is for testing the fatigue strength and failure behaviour of wheels and steering columns under load. This provides manufacturers valuable information about the properties of their products right at the development stage.


Our portfolio

  • Radial impact test on car wheels with tyres
  • Safeguarding the fatigue strength of rims from fracture (e.g. when driving through potholes)
  • Preloading of wheels with impact loads for subsequent fatigue strength tests
  • Impact loading on motorcycle forks
  • Impact loading on axle guides


Technical data

  • Fall weight: 150 kg (can be increased)
  • Maximum drop height: 8 m
  • Impact energy at a drop height of 1m: 1,471.5 J
  • Velocity at height of fall of 1m: 4.43 m/s
  • Max. impact force at centre of fin: 100 kN
  • Fin angle: 150° (variable)
  • Fin dimensions (W x L): 195 x 500 mm
  • Wheel dimensions: currently 15 - 21 inch
  • Wheel camber angle: 1° (variable, 0 – 3°)
