The ASE-TB project designed, manufactured and tuned an innovative and smart Test Bench for linear actuators that was capable of conducting synchronized tests on two linear actuators of the same type while applying different loads on them. The test bench also included a thermal chamber for conducting tests at regulated temperatures with one of the actuators.

This actuator test bench was based on a modular, eco-efficient and adaptive concept by integrating easily exchangeable hydraulic and mechanical components with sensors and control strategies that allow automatic and autonomous safety controls as well as energy saving approaches that assured optimised lifecycle costs and environmental impacts during endurance tests.

This innovative concept of actuator test bench meant thus a positive impact on the safety and working conditions of the end users of the Test Bench as well as a reduction in the time and costs associated to testing linear actuators together with an increase in the quality and reliability of said tests.
