Component Level Testing

To validate durability of components, the AIC now offers specialised equipment to test and evaluate components.

Vibration Testing
We use a Sentek Electro-Dynamic Vibration Shaker to durability test your parts under development. We can run swept-sine and random vibration tests up to 300kg load capacity.

Hydraulic Durability
Our hydraulic durability rig has 25kN asynchronous testing capability and 100kN single acting loads. Up to 30Hz and multiple load case opportunities to test the fatigue or ultimate strength of your parts.

Tensile Tester
The AIC 100kN tensile and compression tester can test samples or components and provide technical data of the yield and failure points. Good for material testing, design strength, spring rates, or anything in between.

Shock Dyno
We can test shock absorber damping rates and profiles as well as temperature durability for product development or QA checking.
