This testing system is used to determine the friction forces and moments, including the ‘stick slip effect’, inside and outside the test axis. 

The multiaxis solution described here consists of: 

• a horizontal testing machine with Fmax 20 kN 
• 3 testControl regulated drive axes (axial, lateral force and torsion) 
• 3 manually adjustable axes, allowing the widest possible range of 
• steering linkage configurations to be accommodated 
• testXpert software for control of the 3 axes 
• complete safety housing to CE standards 
• universal multi-hole plate for mounting equipment

Drive axes: 

1.  Tensile/compression. Axial 20 kN 

2.  Torsion 100 Nm 

3.  Tensile/compression lateral 1 kN´

Manual axes: 

4.  Lateral force: axial position 

5.  Passive clamping: vertical  position 

6. Passive clamping: horizontal position
