Which test bench do I need?
Static Test Bench
This unit is for testing units/items that require being supplied with a flow rate. These units have built-in pump(s), where the flow rate and the pressure can be varied as required.
These test benches are suited for testing cylinders, valves, manifolds, and motors(utilising a back pressure testing procedure). Motors like Staffa and Hägglunds are tested by the relevant factories in this way.
Dynamic Test Bench
For the testing of a unit that requires a driving rotational force to achieve flow from the test unit. This is required for all pumps, open and closed loop.
Under some special conditions and with Axial piston motors, a test can also be performed, where the motor is able to be tested under pump conditions.
