Off-road Vehicle Application: Hydraulic Component Testing
Eaton Hydraulics, Eden Prairie, Minn., routinely develops new products and systems using three types of tests to guarantee high quality: performance testing and endurance testing on test stands, and vehicle testing on-site and in the field. Performance testing ensures that the components meet their functional specifications, while endurance testing validates the component life under temperature, pressure, and vibration extremes. These tests ensure that the components and systems will stand up to the real-world rigors of off-road use and abuse.
