Cornering Fatigue Machine

Purpose

The cornering fatigue machine tests the cornering fatigue of a wheel (rim and disc) assembly.

Description

Some of the standard features of the cornering fatigue machine include:

  • Sturdy steel frame, with anchoring pads (to facilitate anchoring the machine to the floor)
  • Load shaft made from 4130 steel for extra strength
  • Load capacity: 7500 lbs-ft
  • Wheel size capacity: 12" to 22" diameter
  • Reversible spindle (spindle rotation direction can be changed)
  • Precision closed loop loading system maintains the load to within +/- 1% of the load set point
  • Safety hook interlock prevents the operator from opening the hood while the spindle is turning
  • Gas cylinder assisted hood lift
  • 460 vac, 3 phase, 60 Hz operation
