Testing rig for fittings

Fittings, hinges, and folding mechanisms can be tested using a test bench from Hegewald & Peschke. The test bench consists of an electric motor-driven swivel unit (swivel range up to 180°) that is installed in a height-adjustable frame construction. This allows fittings of different sizes to be dynamically tested with a torque of 100 Nm.

Technical details of the test bench for fittings

• frame is mounted ca. 200 mm high (on vibration-absorbing feet which can be fixed to the floor)
• frame dimensions ca. 1,6 m x 1,8 m, in the specimen area 1,2 m x 1,8 m, with grid hole system 150 mm x 150mm M10
• pivot frame with manually adjustable bracket  for the specimen connection
• counter weight with adjustable part for the taring of the moment of the torque; max. 7kg additional weight of the specimen connection can be compensated
• control variables: torque, angle
• 1 servo drive for the pivoting unit
• 1 load cell for collecting the torque, integrated in the bracket drive
• 1 angular measuring system integrated in the bracket drive
• controller is mounted on the frame; controller is based on the control system EDC220 and allows the operation of the testing rig with Labmaster
