Semcon to perform extensive durability testing 

Semcon Test Center in Göteborg will perform a large scale durability test on a
rear chassis installation on a heavy vehicle for a Swedish heavy vehicle
development company.  
 
Semcon will design and build the test rig and perform durability testing of the
rear axle installation including chassis frame, axle, suspension, hub and
brakes.   The test will be divided in three different load cases over a four
month period. The set up includes up to six hydraulic actuators and the test
will be used to verify the simulation model results. The test is a sequel from
similar tests on a front chassis assembly made earlier this year. 
 
Semcon has extensive test operations around the world with test laboratories in
Sweden and Germany, test track facilities in south of Spain and winter testing
in the cold zone area in northern Sweden. Semcon Test Center has since 1996 been
a major test partner in durability, fatigue, vibration, climate and functional
testing for customers in many industries and of many products such as vehicles,
offshore platform structures, forest harvester equipment, mobile phones, solar
panels, wind power plants, tooth implants, sailing and motor yacht components
and lightweight composite structures.
