Sealing systems testing
Testing capabilities Tests performed on real sealing systems A wide range of working conditions and seal types (rod/piston, pneumatic/hydraulic, rotational, oscillatory and reciprocating motion) Designing customised test chambers Friction, wear and leakage tests covering a wider range of working conditions Tests performed according to standards or customised procedures
TESSA Test bench Technical characteristics: Seal diameters: 8 - 200 mm Speed: up to 5 m/s (reciprocating module), up to 4000 rpm (rotating module) Temperature range: -50 to +120ºC High chamber pressure settings (up to 200 bar) Hydraulic and pneumatic applications Control and monitoring of friction, pressure, leaks and temperature
