Apply precise loading in six degrees of freedom to rolling stock air springs to evaluate durability and measure stiffness, multi-axial response and damping characteristics. These robust multi-axial systems employ state-of-the-art MTS controls, application software and hydromechanical technologies to improve the noise, vibration and handling aspects of rolling stock ride quality.
RPC software and FlexTest controllers enable tight coordination of 6DOF for unmatched control/response
Robust, proven mechanical design features long-lasting, plasma-coated MTS DuraGlide actuators
Capable of testing a wide variety of rail components, including air bags, springs and elastomeric components
Multi-axial reaction load cell maximizes measurement accuracy and repeatability
