A static load test facility with hydraulic test cylinders is available for mechanical investigations. Static load tests or, by applying load changes, service life investigations can be conducted with it.
Various test cylinders with maximum forces of 25 kN, 100 kN, and 250 kN and a maximum displacement of up to 1000 mm are available. These can also be operated simultaneously in order to apply multi-axis loads.
The test facility has dimensions of 3.5 m x 6.0 m.
