Loading and Durability Test Rigs for Structural and Industrial Applications

Loading and durability test rigs are essential tools in evaluating the mechanical performance, structural behavior, and long-term durability of civil and industrial components. These systems are designed to apply controlled forces and displacements—either statically or dynamically—under realistic or accelerated loading conditions. Their primary purpose is to validate structural integrity, assess fatigue life, and ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Additium offers advanced servo-controlled test rigs that combine stiff, modular reaction frames with precise single or multi-axis actuation systems. These systems are engineered for high accuracy and repeatability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications—from civil infrastructure loading tests to component-level fatigue and homologation testing in industries such as automotive, aerospace, railway, and construction.

These rigs can be configured for flexible test setups, accommodating small specimens like automotive subframes or suspension systems, as well as large-scale structures like bridge elements, walls, or beams. Actuators can be servo-hydraulic or electromechanical, depending on the specific force range, frequency, and control requirements. Multi-axis systems enable simultaneous testing in different directions, simulating complex real-world load scenarios and enhancing the depth of the structural evaluation.
