Testing System: Upgraded Fatigue Testing Equipment with Precision Linear Actuators, Enhancing Control, Speed, and Data Analysis Capabilities.

Challenge

The United States Navy wanted to upgrade their hydraulic fatigue testing machine (hexapod) using precision linear actuators. They were having issues with the existing hydraulic power unit and cylinders due to leaks and excessive noise. This six-axis testing actuation solution required multiple program modes with a single actuator design to test material and collect data for analysis. The application required linear actuators that provided precise control over a wide force range.

Kyntronics Solution

  • Six electric linear servo positioning actuators.
  • Ability to change speeds from slow to fast by 240x.
  • Ability to change loads from low to high by 4.7x.
  • Programmable mode selection.

Customer Benefits

  • Ability to achieve multiple modes with a single actuator design.
  • Easy integration and mode selection.
  • Data tracking and feedback to use for testing analysis.
