Wheel Impact Performance Test Machine
13° / 30° impact testing of road wheels, with a 90° impact base
Overview
Wheel Impact Performance Test Machine
A drop-weight machine for impact performance testing of road wheels. The wheel support and the impact surface can be set to an included angle of 13° or 30°, and a separate 90° impact base is supplied with the machine.
Key features
- Impact angle 13° or 30° between the wheel support and the impact surface, plus a 90° impact base
- Main hammer 910 kg ±18 kg, auxiliary hammer 100 kg ±4.5 kg
- Effective drop height of the hammer up to 500 mm
- Three springs with a combined spring constant of 0.98–1.3 kN/mm
- Hammer impact face at least 380 mm long and 152 mm wide
What it is used for
- 13° and 30° wheel impact performance tests
- 90° impact tests using the supplied impact base
- Passenger-car and light commercial wheel sizes from 12 in to 26 in
