    BALL JOINT TEST SYSTEM (B-BJ)

    The TestResources Ball Joint Test System helps users conduct durability and performance tests
    on passenger car and light truck ball joint systems. The test system is of robust mechanical design
    based on rigid frame. This system applies tilt, rotation and axial loads to tie-rod end specimens.
    There are different ball joints in a vehicle like, inner ball joint, upper ball joint, lower ball joint and
    tie-rod end. This system also tests the durability of ball joint seals by applying rotation and
    oscillation motion. This test system carries an environment chamber that can apply humidity,
    temperature and slurry.

    system to test a number of ball joint designs. This system has been developed to meet the latest set
    of stringent test requirements in this field. This test system includes servo hydraulic linear actuators,
    servo torque motor, environmental chamber, slurry unit, digital control system

    Ball joint Testing Machine


    One can do a variety of tests and meets SAE J1367, SAE J193 and JASO C 715:

     Oscillation angle test: This test is conducted to evaluate the oscillation angle of a ball joint.

     Torque test: This test is conducted to evaluate the turning and oscillating torques of a ball
    joint.

     Rigidity test: This test is conducted to evaluate the rigidity of a ball joint.

     Extrusion and drawing strength test: This test is conducted to evaluate the breaking
    strength of the socket body or at the caulked portion of a ball joint.

     Ball stud static strength test: This test is conducted to evaluate the strength of an outer ball
    joint ball stud in the direction rectangular to its axis.

     Fatigue strength test: This test is conducted to evaluate the fatigue strength of the socket
    body and of the ball stud of a ball joint.

     Service temperature abrasive durability test: This test is conducted to evaluate the abrasive
    durability of a ball joint.

     Muddy water durability test: This test is conducted to evaluate the sealing property of a ball
    joint.

     Dust cover Ozone-deterioration test: This test is conducted to evaluate the Ozone-
    deterioration of a ball joint on the dust cover.

     Dust cover low temperature test: This test is conducted to evaluate the temperature
    resistance of the dust cover of a ball joint.

     Dust cover heat resistance test: This test is conducted to evaluate the heat resistance of a
    ball joint on the dust cover.

    The test rig also has a common hydraulic power pack with other test systems which provides
    hydraulic power to the linear actuators and torque motor.

    The TestResources Model B03-402 Hydraulic Service Manifold is provided for hydraulics pressure
    and flow regulation independently from the ring hydraulic power pack.

    The TestResources ball joint test system employs the state-of-the-art 2360 digital servo controller.
    The detailed description is provided in the later part of this manual. This versatile controller allows
    users to set up test procedure easily and do the test. This controller is integrated with The
    TestResources MTL32 software.
