Test rigs for wheel bearings and hubs

IAMT Prüfsysteme offers standardised test rigs and benches for wheel bearing and hub validation.

Special designs (aligned to the dynamics and number of loading components) complete with appropriate instrumentation and controls can also be provided in accordance with client requirements.

Our test rig concepts enable customers to closely replicate the installation situation of the subject item. Aside from enabling installation of the original wheel carriers, swivel hubs and steering knuckles with fitted wheel bearings, allowance can also be made in the test set-up for the wheel discs, replacement knuckles and ball joints. The drive technology applied in the test rigs is selected in accordance with client requirements (dynamic response and repeatability).
