1. Product Function and Application
The 8 Ram Static Load and Pull Tester is designed for multi-point static load and pull testing applications in the automotive, aerospace, and structural testing industries.
It provides precise control and measurement of both tensile and compressive forces through eight independently controlled hydraulic rams.
The system is ideal for seat structure testing, anchorage validation, body-in-white load testing, and component durability verification, where multiple simultaneous loading points are required.
2. Applicable Test Standards
Custom load testing in compliance with FMVSS, ECE, and OEM-specific structural and safety validation requirements.
Can be configured for customer-defined static and quasi-static test procedures.
