Evaluating Safety and Comfort During Travel

Evaluation of Chassis Frame Strength Using Actual Working Waveform Simulation Actual Working Load Chassis Testing System

Load testing and fatigue testing on the chassis frame at the base of train cars are Handrail Control panel
performed. The load occurs as a result of the hydraulic actuator, and load amplitude
and frequency can be controlled by computer. The system, which can be loaded via
two vertical and four horizontal axes, can simulate the actual working waveform for
Horizontal frame
both vertical and horizontal loading, undertaken during endurance testing on a
maximum combination of six axes.
Chassis frame testing can be performed with the wheels and axle springs still
Ladder
attached. The link mechanism means that stable, multi-axis loading can be Operation
achieved, even in regard to upward and downward motion in the sample. panel
