Services : Fatigue & Simulated Service Testing

Research shows that a large number of service related failures are the result of fatigue or other mechanically induced causes. And you can avoid the unexpected catastrophe of premature failure by having your products or devices tested under a variety of simulated conditions.

We use standard testing equipment, such as MTS universal electro-hydraulic test machines and our own specially designed test machines. We have a hydraulic pumping system capable of producing 90 gallons per minute at 5,000 psi, which enables dynamic testing of very large components. However, we have tested very small products, components, and devices as well.

Testing to simulate actual service conditions should be incorporated into every design and product support program. So whether you are trying to prove the durability of a design, establish the life expectancy of a particular configuration, or recreate potential service deficiencies, MMR’s Simulated Service testing department can help you to achieve your goals.
