Simulates acceleration & displacement inputs

The test system is a 4-poster hydraulic rig that simulates vertical acceleration and displacement inputs on the wheels, using data collected from the test track that is then replicated and played out in the lab through Moog Replication Software.

The Tire Coupled Simulation System is a full testing system that includes XY positioners, actuators with flow selectors, wheel pans, a shock cooling system, a controller with a cabinet, software (replication & runner), an HSM (hydraulic service manifold) and an HPU (hydraulic power unit).

From ride quality evaluations to noise and vibration assessments of design candidates and prototypes, as well as durability tests on selected structural, chassis and suspension designs, the system is a valuable asset for the product development engineer in research labs.
