Our tests
internal and external
tensile test
static tests
The tensile test stand
We can carry out static tensile tests up to 500 kN (approx. 50t) in this tensile test bench.
The tensile tests are documented by video and a force diagram.
By positioning the cylinder differently, we can also simulate a train offset by up to 30°.
impact test
dynamic push attempts
The impact test stand
In this test bench we can carry out reproducible impact tests.
This enables us to compare different structures and surface protection systems with each other through comparative tests.
With full ballast, an 8t machine is simulated that hits the ground at 3km/h.
continuous load
The fatigue test
In this fatigue test, the locating bolts are tested for their continuous load.
The life stress changes to be expected were assumed to be 2,500,000. We have planned security by testing over 10,000,000 load changes and 1.6 times overloading.
The sample is subjected to a preload force of 20kN.
The sample is then subjected to a pulsating load with a force amplitude of 10kN
