Testing of components such as elastomer bearings, ball and socket joints, etc. in a controlled environment using a testing device with six degrees of freedom for application of forces and moments

摘要

Device (1) for testing of components with first and second sides, such as elastomer bearings, ball and socket joints, etc. that are loaded with at least one degree of freedom. The device is able to apply forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and moments (Mx, My, Mz) to first and second sides of the test component. An Independent claim is made for an environment simulation housing for use in testing a component with first and second sides.
