MACHINE FOR DYNAMIC FATIGUE TESTS – PFO 20
Detections are made using accurate position transducers for acceleration and load.
The operation frequency rangesof this kind of machines are essentially two: 4-25/40 Hz, with +/- 0.05/2.5 mm excitation amplitude and 25-500 Hz, with +/- 0.025/0.2 mm excitation amplitude. For special requirements, such as checking a motor support in resonance conditions, an inertial mass with variable weights can be installed on the machine.
Even for long time tests, our machines maintain a high-idelity waveform while running at a high frequency. According to the customers’ needs, we can provide testing machines with static load from 5 to 1000 kN with standard waveforms (sine, ramp, square) or programmable ones.

Servo-controlled actuato
Servo-controlled actuator with counter-reaction ring in displacement or load, the type of counter-reaction must be selected at the start of the test
The actuator has a simple hydrostatic support, equipped with a high response MOOG servo valve, an anti-torque unit, a transducer for stroke control (LVDT), and a filter on the pressure line with electric clogging detection
Hydraulic Plant
– Suction filter
– Oil level sensor
– Temperature transducer
– Pressure transducer
– 2-set maximum pressure valve (high / low pressure)
– Solenoid valve for high / low flow rate selection
– Water / oil exchanger designed to guarantee continuous operation
– Flexible pipes (P and T), for hydraulic connection with machinery for a maximum length of 3000 mm, pressure pipes equipped with safety ropes
– Valve group for the movement of the crosspiece

These tests are used either to generate fatigue life and crack growth data, identify critical locations or demonstrate the safety of a structure that may be susceptible to fatigue
Demonstrate the safety of a structure that may be susceptible to widespread fatigue damage.
Generate fatigue data
Validate expectations for crack initiation and growth pattern.
Fatigue tests can also be used to determine the extent that widespread fatigue damage may be a problem.
ELECTRONIC CABINET
Electronic cabinet consisting of a rack-door cabinet in which a Personal computer and the servo-control rack module are housed.
Industrial PC (Intel Core I3 processor, OS Windows 10 Pro), LCD 19 “monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The PC is equipped with a National Instruments acquisition card for PC, command, and digital inputs/outputs
Electronic servo-control module – 19 ”rack amplifiers including
a power supply slot 230 V ac 50 Hz an independent PID circuit slot with a double feedback loop with proportional, integrative, and derivative action: one for the piston stroke and one for the load signal amplification slots a power supply cable, servo-control-servo valve connection cables, travel and load signal inputs.
In the event of instant failure of the 230 V supply voltage ac of electronic equipment, can occur undesired movements of the piston such as to damage the particular in the test. In order to avoid these effects and to ensure the safety of the operator, when assembling the part being tested, it is necessary to power the electronic modules and the control PC with a power supply served by an uninterruptible power supply (consumption approximately 700 VA). The industrial UPS group is included in the supply
The static load will be limited to 25kN software.
