Bearing Load Tester

Challenge

The United States DOE needed a servo hydraulic fatigue testing solution to exert very high load test force on a bearing test stand and capture force and position data for data logging and tracking. They were interested in a standalone servo actuated load testing machine that would avoid the use of an HPU with it’s associated hoses and cylinders.
