INOVA wheel and wheelset test rigs can simulate advanced test scenarios, subjecting the specimen to torque load and radial and axial forces. Different implementations are possible – either rotating specimen assembly or static specimen assembly with rotating loading force vector. INOVA solutions accurately reproduce real-life factors, such as dynamic torsional loads acting on the specimen caused by the train’s inertial mass during acceleration and braking.
Bogie test rigs feature a universal adjustable loading frame capable of using a large number of vertical and horizontal loading actuators. INOVA multi-channel control electronics ensures highly accurate loading in all controlled directions.
Automatic hydraulic Power pack control provides energy efficient operation for power-intensive systems.
