LOAD SIMULATION TEST STAND AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a load simulation test stand having at least one hydraulic test cylinder (1) which comprises at least one cylinder chamber (1a, 1b) which can be charged with hydraulic fluid, preferably two cylinder chambers (1a, 1b) which can be charged with hydraulic fluid and which act counter to one another, in the case of which load simulation test stand the at least one test cylinder (1), in particular each of multiple provided test cylinders (1), comprises at least one capacity element (5, 6, 7), preferably a capacity element (5, 6, 7) which is exchangeable or which is adjustable in terms of hydraulic capacity, by means of which the hydraulic overall capacity of the at least one cylinder chamber (1a, 1b) can be adjusted. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a load simulation test stand having at least one test cylinder (1), wherein the at least one test cylinder (1) is connected to a load which is to be moved, and wherein the load is moved by means of a pressure control system (4) by temporally changeable control of the fluid pressure in the at least one cylinder chamber (1a, 1b) of the at least one test cylinder (1), and wherein, for the load which is to be moved by means of the at least one test cylinder (1), in a manner dependent on the pressure control bandwidth of the pressure control system (4), the natural frequency of the unit composed of the at least one test cylinder (1) and load is set to a value smaller than the pressure control bandwidth by changing the capacity of the capacity element (5, 6, 7), preferably adjusting the capacity of the adjustable capacity element (5, 6, 7).
