Testing car seats and foams
The seats and frames (including the rear seat) are tested in various positions. Foams are tested for fatigue (cyclic tests) and their hardness is determined. To maximize the versatility of the servo testing actuator it is installed in a portal specially developed by Zwick. It provides electrically powered travel in the X and Y directions, together with crosshead height adjustment, while positioning at a defined angle is a retrofit option. Indenters for foam testing as per standards plus a safety housing complete the package.
With test speeds up to 500mm/second and the high-resolution testControl electronics offering measured-value acquisition up to 500Hz, a precisely tailored solution is on hand even for the most demanding testing requirements. The electro-mechanical testing actuators are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30kN versions. Areas of use for these actuators range from materials and component testing to testing finished end-products, while tests for production stages such as joining, force-fitting and assembly or long-stroke cyclic tests are also possible.
