Testing and inspection
Testing and inspection of rubber and rubber-metal anti-vibration parts
The specialised technicians in our in-house laboratory perform strict checks on receipt and final tests to ensure the safety and durability of our rubber and rubber-metal anti-vibration technical items. We operate in compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard in our laboratory.
- We test the mechanical and rheometric characteristics of compounds.
- We perform dimensional checks with a 3D bench and conventional measuring instruments.
- We conduct static and dynamic tests during production.
- We carry out all the tests required by the FAI and type approvals.
All of this allows us to check that each production batch has the required characteristics and meets the high quality standards we demand for our products. Contact us for anti-vibration components of certified quality with testing and inspection for Italy or abroad.
A constantly updated pool of instruments
SGA has all the instruments it needs for highly accurate preliminary and post-production tests and inspections. We have testing machines to check the elastic, static and dynamic characteristics of components:
- a dynamometer to measure elastic, static, radial and axial characteristics. This instrument has three load cells of 50 kN and a displacement transducer of 0 to 500 mm.
- a torque meter to verify the elastic, static, torsional and pendular characteristics, with a load cell of 2000 Nm and an angular position transducer of ± 18°;
- a mechanical exciter with 200 kN load cell, displacement transducer ± 150 mm, and side actuator with 50 kN cell – to conduct combined vertical and lateral fatigue tests;
- a mechanical exciter with 50 kN load cell, and displacement transducer ± 100 mm, to conduct fatigue tests in various directions (axial, radial, torsional and pendular);
- a tensiometer and ageing ovens to verify the physical and mechanical characteristics of compounds, namely tensile strength, stretching and permanent deformation;
- a rheometer to measure the vulcanization parameters of compounds;
- a durometer for compounds and a durometer for metals to test the hardness of materials;
- a 3D measuring machine to check the dimensions of semi-finished and finished components;
- various instruments for measuring dimensions, such as depth gauges, micrometers, altimeters, comparators, etc.
