SERVO-HYDRAULIC INERTIAL RIG · TO 2,000 kg / ±160 kN

Inertial Loading Test Facility, rated to 2,000 kg mass, ±150 mm stroke and 2 g dynamic acceleration.

A fully integrated servo-hydraulic rig that subjects actuators, manifolds and power packs to precisely controlled inertial loads — not just static pressure. Modular 500 kg mass blocks stack to 2,000 kg on a rib-reinforced ±160 kN reaction frame, driven by dual three-stage servo valves and a 1 kHz PLC/EtherCAT control loop, revealing fatigue, resonance and control issues before your systems ever leave the lab.

The Inertial Loading Test Facility is a fully integrated hydraulic test rig engineered to replicate the true inertial forces experienced by actuators, manifolds and power packs in service. Mounted on a rib-reinforced steel frame bolted to both floor and wall, it carries up to 2,000 kg of modular mass blocks over ±150 mm horizontal and ±100 mm vertical strokes — delivering accelerations up to 2 g with sub-micron positional repeatability.

Two high-response, three-stage servo valves and precision pressure transducers feed into a 1 kHz PLC control loop, while a 16-channel, 24-bit DAQ records position, pressure and acceleration at up to 5 kS/s. Pre-wired and pre-tested for rapid on-site commissioning, it offers turnkey dynamic validation for aerospace, automotive, heavy-machinery and energy applications, revealing fatigue, resonance and control issues before your systems ever leave the lab.

Core Components

Built around four precision subsystems.

Component · 01

Reaction Brackets

Dual reaction brackets — one horizontal, one vertical — fabricated from IS-2062 mild steel and bolted to the strong floor and shear wall. Closely spaced ribs withstand dynamic loads of ±160 kN at the actuator center line, minimizing frame deflection and eliminating spurious resonances.

Scope of Supply

Turnkey delivery, end to end.

Our turnkey delivery encompasses end-to-end services. We begin with detailed 3D and fabrication drawings, complete with QA/QC procedures and inspection schedules for your approval. Upon drawing sign-off, we procure all raw materials, servo valves, transducers and specialty components, followed by precision CNC machining and radiographic weld inspection.

Assembly and factory acceptance testing (FAT) include structural natural-frequency checks, deflection under dynamic loads, and full inertial-mass performance tests. Finally, our field team handles on-site installation — bolting reaction brackets, connecting hydraulic and electrical interfaces, flushing the system, and conducting site acceptance tests (SAT) with prototype actuators and manifolds.

Deliverables & Warranty

Upon completion, you receive the fully assembled Inertial Loading Test Facility, a comprehensive spare-parts kit (filters, seals, connectors), as-built drawings, calibration certificates, FAT/SAT reports, and detailed operating and maintenance manuals. We back our workmanship and all bought-out items with a 12-month warranty from dispatch, including on-site support and remote diagnostics.

Testing & Performance

Beyond static measurement.

Closed-loop position, velocity and acceleration tracking tests, ensuring deviations remain within 5% of commanded profiles under full inertial mass.
A sine-sweep test from 0.1 Hz to 50 Hz at 0.2 mm amplitude verifies –3 dB bandwidth compliance.
End-of-stroke cushioning and lateral-load tests confirm pressure rises and side forces remain within design limits.
Hydrostatic bearing leakage and high-pressure reciprocation tests validate long-term sealing and guide performance.
