Electromechanical Systems

Dynamic Testing Systems based on Electromechanical Actuators

Key Features

• Dynamic load: 5.5 – 200kN
• Designed for dynamic and fatigure tests.
• Operate in single or multi-actuator mode
• Zero maintenance and easy installation
• Low energy consumption
• Highly reliable tests

Ultra-High Frequency Test Systems

Precision testing at up to 1,000 Hz — ideal for dynamic material analysis and high-cycle fatigue.

High-Speed, High-Accuracy Dynamic Testing

Testech Solutions supplies and supports STEP Lab’s Ultra-High Frequency Test Systems (UHFTS) across Australia. These advanced systems are designed for dynamic testing of materials and components at frequencies up to 1,000 Hz.

The UHFTS platform is ideal for high-cycle fatigue (HCF), NVH testing, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). All systems are electric, compact, and oil-free — making them perfect for lab environments.

Key Features

• Test frequencies up to 1,000 Hz

• Dynamic force up to 4.6 kN

• Speeds up to 5 m/s

• Electrodynamic actuator (no hydraulics or oil)

• Modular actuator design for different loads/frequencies

• Low maintenance and quiet operation
