IMA-ThreadBench
Testing of Shaft Counter-Surfaces for Helix Angle
The IMA-ThreadBench is used for software-supported, high-precision thread testing of shafts according to the FVA guideline 975 I for shaft lead.
The test rig enables testing of sealing counter-surfaces of shafts for shaft lead. The results are documented by precise displacement measurement and video documentation.
High precision through camera monitoring of the thread.
Software-supported, high-precision thread testing of shafts according to the FVA guideline 975 I for shaft lead.
High precision through camera monitoring of the thread during the entire test.
Documentation of results by precise displacement measurement for reproducible and traceable results.
Video documentation of test runs for full traceability and archiving.
Official FVA guideline on shaft lead for radial shaft seals – the basis for the thread testing implemented here.
