Test systems for railway specific components
An own field of the SincoTec is engaged in the development of test systems and the accomplishment of dynamic strength tests of railway specific components.
The reference list comprises all important railway manufacturers and their suppliers. In 2004 a main part of the component tests as the basis for the development of new norms were accomplished at SincoTec in the course of the BMBF project "Save and economic design of railway carriages".
Within the field of "Test systems" we offer you different test systems. Beside complete railway wheel resonance test systems, with which wheelset axles and wheel discs can be loaded up to 250.000 Nm at freqencies up to 40 Hz, our product range comprises different rotating bending test systems for the test of small samples or rather to test the notch sensitivity of materials, etc.
With our universal resonance pulsators with electromotive POWER SWING MOT drive you have got the possibility to accomplish e. g. 3-point bending tests on frame rails, 4-point bending tests on wheel tire segments or to test other railway specific components regarding their dynamic strength. The test systems are designed from 5 kN up to 1.000 kN and with the appropriate clamping devices, beside the axial loading, they are also suitable for the induction of bending and torsion loads.
In the field of "Test & Engineering Center" we offer you different test possibilities. Additional to two railway wheel resonance test systems with the appendant calibration devices, with which wheel set axles and wheel discs can be loaded, you have got the possibility to test small samples and different railway specific components regarding their fatigue strength.
