l Steering Gear Durability TestStand The MTS TestStand approach enables OEMs, suppliers and contract test labs to adapt to evolving vehicle subsystem and component testing requirements with speed, efficiency and confidence. THE MTS TESTSTAND APPROACH e MTS TestStand approach is designed to offer the cost advantages of an in-house system, but with faster deployment and less risk. Essentially, it is a collaborative effort between the test lab and MTS to define specific test objectives and then determine how best to achieve them within the available budget and time frame. TestStand solutions leverage more than five decades of MTS ground vehicle testing expertise, as well as high-quality MTS TestLine TM components. To keep costs in check, MTS works closely with customers to determine which elements of the test system they can machine in-house or manufacture locally, with our guidance. STEERING GEAR DURABILITY TESTSTAND is two channel TestStand is designed to test and validate the durability of power gear for steering systems. e system base is constructed to self-react loads exerted on the pitman arm and steering input. It is free standing with no bedplate required.
