Radial and Lateral Impact Simulator
The simulator for radial impact is for testing the fatigue strength and failure behaviour of wheels under load from driving over obstacles and lateral impact. This provides manufacturers valuable information about the properties of their products right at the development stage.
Task • Service
- Radial impact test on car wheels
- Impact test in compliance with AK-LH 08 and JIS D4103, 13° method
- Impact test on truck wheels, 30° method
- 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 carriers
- Impact tests for a variety of applications and components
