We offer the following four testing types as
standard:
1. Fatigue test ------------------------------------------------------ These tests help measure the risk of fatigue
fractures that often only appear after years of use and can lead to
sudden failure and potentially serious accidents. The tests measure
whether a bike component can withstand recurring loads without showing
any signs of damage.
2. Maximum load test ------------------------------------------------------ These tests guarantee that nothing becomes
permanently deformed when subject to the maximum permissible stress.
The component is subjected to a defined static test load,
then the permanent deformation is measured.
3. Overload test ------------------------------------------------------ These tests verify whether a component can
withstand short-term excessive stress loads without brittle fracturing. The test sample is exposed to defined loads or defined energies (Impact tests, using drop-weights). Plastic
deformation (ductile behaviour) is sought after here, because the
overload is indicated to the user.
------------------------------------------------------ These stiffness tests reveal to what extent a
component flexes when subject to stress. The component is subject to
defined test loads, then the level of deformation is measured.
