Component testing in the automotive industry
Test benches and universal testing machines for vehicle components
In the automotive industry, components and assemblies must meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and functionality. Hegewald & Peschke develops and supplies testing systems for component testing in the automotive sector that simulate real-life load scenarios and deliver reproducible results. Our automotive test benches are used in development, series production support, and quality assurance, enabling realistic stress, functional, and service life tests on vehicle components, from individual parts to assemblies.
Typical test methods for vehicle components
- Brakes: Brake pads are tested for shear strength in universal testing machines with a shear device.
- Cable shift: High mechanical loads are simulated in continuous and alternating tests to detect wear or failure at an early stage.
- Seats and interior elements: Cyclic bending and torsion tests ensure functionality and safety in daily use.
- Seat belts: Seat belts, including belt tensioners and buckles, are tested in tensile tests using a universal testing machine.
- Battery & fuel cell: Mechanical, thermal, and electrical tests in testing machines with temperature chambers provide a comprehensive understanding of behavior under real-world conditions.
- Fine-blanked parts in safety-relevant components: Destructive pressure tests show whether components can withstand high mechanical loads.
- Vehicle body: Endurance testing and simulation of real-world usage cycles over millions of load cycles

Testing of rubber and elastomers according to ISO 37
Tensile testing machine inspekt table with long distance extensometer L1100
- Industry: Automotive industry, medical technology, construction industry
The ISO 37 or ISO 037 test standard deals with the determination of the tensile strength and elongation of rubber and elastomers. The standard ensures that the mechanical properties of the two materials are tested under standardised conditions so that the results are comparable. The results ensure that products made from these materials meet the required specifications and quality standards.
