State-of-the-art test rigs and measuring instruments enable us to carry out precise investigations at the cutting edge of technology – directly linked to the research infrastructure of IMA Stuttgart.
If it didn't exist, we developed it. Decades of basic research at the IMA in Stuttgart have led to the creation of measuring instruments that step in precisely where standard solutions reach their limits. Every device we produce is the solution to a specific measurement problem in sealing technology—scientifically sound, industrially proven, and continuously refined by us.
Precise and ultra-fast lead and surface measurement on shaft counterfaces. Combined micro- and macrolead analysis per FVA 975 I within minutes.
Radial force measurement of radial shaft seals per DIN 3761-9. Desktop device with unique diameter compensation for all seal types – the only commercial instrument of its kind. A thermal chamber also enables measurements at operating temperatures.
360° laser scan of seal geometry for wear width and inner diameter measurement in just 10 seconds. Automatic wear evaluation and diameter determination across the entire sealing edge.
Visual inspection of the inner seal ring surface with reproducible LED illumination. Converts any microscope into a precision sealing edge inspection tool for optimal seal failure analysis.
Software-supported shaft lead testing per FVA guideline 975 I using the thread method. High-precision travel measurement with video camera monitoring.
Our test rigs are designed for lifetime and functional testing of radial shaft seals (RSS). They enable testing under defined and reproducible conditions with respect to speed, temperature and test medium.
High-capacity parallel test rig for long-term tests under identical conditions. Suitable for standardized tests such as FLENDER and SEW.
Multiple test rigs running simultaneously under controlled laboratory conditions. Leakage monitoring and temperature control are handled by innovative new sensor technology in real time.
Flexibly configurable test rig for individual test tasks. Enables friction torque determination at variable speeds and temperatures.
High-resolution confocal microscope for 3D surface topography measurement. Enables analysis of roughness, lead and machining structures.
Analysis software for quantitative evaluation and three-dimensional visualization of surface measurement data. Determination of relevant roughness and lead parameters.
Our equipment is closely linked to the laboratory facilities of IMA Stuttgart.
