Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Hydraulics is used to reliably generate test forces and pressure profiles and to replicate test processes stably and repeatably – e.g., in automotive and industrial test benches. Universal Hydraulik provides precisely designed hydraulic solutions for this purpose.
Common applications include gearbox test benches, tests on engine and gearbox mechatronics, ABS tests, as well as tire, wheel, shock absorber and hose test benches.
Clean oil protects valves and pumps, reduces wear, and helps ensure consistently reproducible test results. Universal Hydraulik relies on tailored filter solutions to guarantee high oil cleanliness.
When test benches operate continuously or when thermal influences can affect the stability of measured values and control behavior. Universal Hydraulik integrates cooling concepts for constant oil temperatures and stable test conditions.
Typical specifications include pressure range (bar), flow rate (l/min), temperature range, oil type , and requirements for control, installation space, and connections.
