Endurance test benches
Reliability testing under real operating conditions
The primary objective of endurance (or life‑cycle) test benches is to simulate extended real or accelerated operational use in order to measure the long‑term behavior, wear, fatigue, reliability, and failure risk of mechanical, hydraulic, electromechanical, or electronic components under controlled or environmental stress conditions. These benches provide critical insights into component durability, enabling early detection of weaknesses before series production or market release
Objective of Endurance (Durability / Life‑Cycle) Test Benches
Our endurance test benches are designed to assess the robustness and progressive wear of components, with precise control over test parameters and extensive customization options. They are built to achieve several key objectives, including:
- Accurate reproduction of real operating conditions (pressure, temperature, vibration, load)
The bench precisely simulates pressure, temperature, vibration, and load levels typical of the operational environment, enabling replication of extended usage scenarios and stress conditions consistent with the component’s actual application. - Continuous measurement of critical parameters throughout the endurance cycle
During the entire test, functional and structural parameters of the component (e.g., deformation, overheating, performance drop) are continuously monitored in real time to detect early signs of degradation or malfunction. - Flexibility for different formats and materials
The system can be easily configured to perform tests on components of various shapes, sizes, and materials, ensuring accuracy even for complex or customized elements. - Compatibility with mechanical, hydraulic, fluid power, or electromechanical components
Thanks to its modular design and versatile configuration, the bench is suitable for testing a wide range of industrial components, including those with mixed or integrated functions. - Suitable for both destructive and non-destructive testing
The system can be used for long-term durability tests without failure, as well as for failure tests aimed at identifying the component’s ultimate limits.
Applications and Reference Standards
These endurance test benches are used in all sectors where validating the structural and functional resistance of components over time is essential:
- Automotive – Testing of transmissions, suspensions, engines, bearings
- Aerospace – Qualification of materials and actuators under extreme conditions
- Energy – Verification of turbines, pumps, compressors
- Industrial Automation – Testing of actuators, solenoid valves, sensors, and controllers
The quality standards to be met refer to several regulations that govern the operation of the test bench itself:
- ISO 19879 – Fatigue resistance for fluid power connections
ISO 16750 – Environmental conditions and service life for electrical and electronic devices (automotive)
- Customer-specific standards or OEM specifications, often required during supply or certification phases
