Simulation of Actual Working Load Placed on a Car Car Strength Testing System (Multi-Jack System)

Actual working load simulation testing can be performed on each part of the car
using the 12 dynamic jacks (30 to 250 kN).

Endurance Evaluation and Periodic Inspection of Chassis Components

The chassis supports the weight of both the car and passengers, and communicates

Evaluation Testing of Various Springs
Chassis springs and dampers used in trains not only require characteristic evaluation on development, but also
need to be removed and inspected depending on the mileage of the train and its period of use for quality
control purposes.

Evaluation of Torsion Characteristics
The rail components that transmit rotation torque, such as the axles, are exposed to torsion fatigue
corresponding to the extent of transmission power and its inversion while the train is running. For this
reason, endurance testing is performed in order to check
whether they are likely to become damaged while in
use. Shimadzu's Servopulser TV series 0.5 to 20 kN/m
torsion fatigue testing machine is ideal for this.
