In the engineering industry, the high-capacity testing <\/a><\/strong>is essential for the development of high-strength structures and components. The porticos<\/strong> are an essential tool in this process, since they allow the testing of structures both static and dynamic<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Static Gantries<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Static gantries are structures that are used to apply loads to a structure or component in a constant manner.<\/strong>at low frequencies or speeds. Ideal for endurance tests<\/strong>They measure the amount of force that a structure or component can withstand before failure. These gantries are capable of applying loads linearly or cyclically, which makes them ideal for large capacity testing.<\/span><\/p>

At Servosis<\/strong><\/a>, we manufacture<\/span> static gantries for strength testing of high-strength structures and components such as beams, columns and steel structures.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dynamic Gantries<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

Dynamic gantries, on the other hand, are structures that are used for to apply repetitive loads with high frequencies<\/strong>up to 50 Hz, on a structure or component in one or more directions. These gantries are ideal for fatigue testing, as they allow simulating the amount of stress that a structure or component would experience during its lifetime. Fatigue testing is essential to ensure that the tested products can withstand repetitive load cycles without failure.<\/span><\/p>

We use these dynamic gantries to perform fatigue tests on a variety of products, such as automotive parts, packaging, concrete, fiber, metallic structures...<\/span><\/p>

In recent years since Servosis we have supplied this type of gantries to numerous Universities<\/strong>and have been awarded numerous public tenders. This fact shows the quality of the product, its versatility and its capacity to adapt to the requirements of each case.<\/span><\/p>

Gantry ME 406<\/b><\/span><\/h2>

ME 406 is our model <\/strong>of gantries<\/strong> for load tests on large structures such as beams, columns, steel structures, bridges and other similar components.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

One of the fundamental differences of our 406 series<\/strong> with respect to other designs is that our proposal is based on the use of columns and load bridges with automatic hydraulic displacement and locking system and not on the use of beams.<\/strong>. This design greatly simplifies test preparation operations and eliminates the need for auxiliary elements such as overhead cranes.<\/span><\/p>

The anchoring system of the large gantries to the available surface is adapted during the design phase, in general a slab should be available with holes drilled to <\/span>fixed distances. In this case, the holes in the slab are used, and the gantry is connected to the floor by means of a threaded bar system.<\/span><\/p>

It is also very common to use the lower area of the slab for the installation of the hydraulic power unit, and some of the free holes for the hydraulic conduits. In this way, a clean system is achieved where there are no impediments for the assembly of the tests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
