This test rig is used for torsional fatigue and static strength tests of drive shafts. The tests are carried out under variable loads and adjustable test setups, in order to achieve a required number of cycles. Switch-off criteria are either the attainment of defined torsion angle or the breaking of the test specimen.

NovoPS Test Stand Software

The NovoPS test stand software is a Windows-based solution that is programmed in-house and optimised for the respective test task. As the interface to the user, the uncomplicated user interface provides intuitive access to all functions of the test stand. Moreover, both the connection of the test stand to the customer's conveyor systems as well as its integration into the existing network environment is taken into account. This enables the data acquired to be processed and evaluated independently of the test stand.
