Testing of suspension systems, chassis and body components

BOSMAL specialises in a comprehensive examinations of the chassis, parts and components of the chassis, body and body equipment. In the field of body and body component research, BOSMAL has the ability to configure test systems for multi-axis loading (forces, torques) of various parts and assemblies. We perform functional, endurance and fatigue tests (including also for the industry sectors other than automotive).

Testing of suspension systems

Swingarm deformation and fatigue test measurements

Technical parameters

• line actuator to 50 kN with MTS FlexTest 60 driver
• temperature: ambient
• loading signal acquisition
• possibility of simultaneous loading with more than one actuator
• tensometric tension tests
• Program – MultiPurpose TestWare (MPT) – MTS
• Program – Weibull++7 – (ReliaSoft)
• deformation measurements with TRITOP optical measuring system (by BOSMAL’s partners)
