Maximum load/Overload test stands

Maximum load test stands simulate infrequently occurring maximum static loads which can lead to permanent deformation, especially in high-quality lightweight constructions. These test stands can also be applied as Overload test stands for checking a components behavior under missuse conditions.

STATRG Frame/fork test stand for static maximum load / overload, loading case front wheel emergency stop
------------------------------------------------------
This test stand simulates the load exerted on frame and front fork by a front wheel emergency stop. The test is carried out according to the EFBe Standard. The frame is positioned upside down. The braking force present at the front wheel contact point is conducted into a dummy wheel. The reaction torque is conducted respectively via the front fork depending on the designated brake type.

The testing load is produced by a pneumatic cylinder and affects the front wheel contact point. EFBe is recommending the amount and the angle of the load applied depending from the bicycle type. The concept is explained in more detail in a German-language article in RADMARKT.

An additional module for maximum load / overload front fork tests according to EFBe Standard is also available.

ÜBR Frame test stand for static Maximum lod / Overload, loading cases pedal load and jumping
------------------------------------------------------
Maximal permissable loads are tested as well as overload that may occure in the limit range of misuse. Two loading cases are simulated:
