The spring steel plates are installed on a rotating flat plate with adjustable angles (which can be used for torsional fatigue testing of automotive half axis CV joints at different angles), and the rotating flat plate is installed on a sliding flat plate. The sliding flat plate is installed on the T-shaped groove on the main platform and can move along the T-shaped groove to adjust the test space to accommodate different sizes of specimens.

3. Constant pressure servo pump station 11.112: The pump station is mainly composed of a base plate, oil tank, oil pump motor group, valve block, pipeline, cooling system and other parts. Used to provide power for the operation of the testing machine.
3.1. The pump station oil tank adopts a fully enclosed design, which can effectively prevent external impurities from entering the hydraulic system and contaminating the hydraulic oil. The inner wall of the fuel tank material is treated with special technology, which can effectively prevent metal corrosion from contaminating the hydraulic oil.
3.2. The configuration of the oil pump and motor unit adopts a series double elastic support method to further reduce the noise of the pump station.
3.3. The oil pump adopts a low-noise linear conjugate internal gear pump. Characteristics of the straight line internal meshing gear pump: It is known as the "never worn oil pump" in the hydraulic industry and is used in high precision, pointed hydraulic systems. Several well-known international companies have developed and promoted it as a branded product to ensure their leading position in the hydraulic industry. Compared with vane pumps and plunger pumps, linear co axial internal meshing gear pumps have excellent performance such as low noise, no pulsation, and long service life. Low noise: The excellent feature of the linear internal meshing gear pump is its special gear design, with a straight gear tooth profile and a linear ring gear profile. There is almost no oil trap during operation, and even at high speeds, the audio is still smooth and flat. Longevity: The long-life characteristics of the linear internal meshing gear pump depend on wear resistance. There is an oil film protective layer between the internal mechanical surface and various functional parts, which has almost no wear and tear. Even if general hydraulic oil is used, the parts are not easily worn. In addition, the principle of dual stage pressurization to bear the pressure difference is adopted, which not only increases the working pressure, but also improves the working conditions of the pump and extends its service life;

During the test, the operator can dynamically change the peak, valley, and frequency, and can also manually or automatically maintain the signal. If the automatic signal maintenance cycle interval is set, the software will automatically maintain the signal at the set level for each additional cycle interval of the test cycle to facilitate the measurement of certain test data (such as visual crack length). The software offers waveform options including sine wave, triangular wave, and square wave. After the experiment is completed, the software will save some important data, such as test load, frequency, number of cycles, and test time. This software can also perform simple static operations
