The elastomer testing and measuring machine is used for the static and dynamic determination of characteristic values of elastomer components.

Functional Description

The elastomer testing and measuring machine is used for the static and dynamic determination of characteristic values of elastomer components. With the help of the elastomer testing machine, a closed, independent and scientifically based supply chain for service life tests, model creation and validation of elastomer bearings can be carried out. Tests and measurements under temperature influence in the range from 20°C to 130°C are possible. The extension of a cooling system to reach measuring temperatures down to -20°C is planned.
