MTS Model 836 Multiaxial Elastomer Test System
Realistic, repeatable durability testing in six degrees of freedom

Easy to Install and Use» Compact, self-supporting design
requires no facility modifications» Convenient bolt location enables
fast specimen installation andremoval» Multiple tests can be performedon the same machine withoutchanging the specimen setup» Manual shutoff of each channel
simplifies serviceability» Flexures at actuator ends require
no greasing or adjustment

The MTS Model 836 Multiaxial Elastomer
Test System sets a bold new standard forcomponent durability testing. We listened
to the requests of test professionals likeyou, and we responded with the world’s
first elastomer component durability test
system that operates in six full degrees offreedom, providing you with the ultimate
in precision control and measurement.
The system also features easy setup, lowmaintenance, and a compact footprint tomake the most of your time and lab space.
With such realistic inputs, you’ll beequipped to run durability tests on
suspension bushing and engine mounts
with unprecedented speed, accuracy, andefficiency. The MTS Model 836 multiaxialelastomer test system also features a highload capacity, along with a greater
frequency bandwidth for more realistic
test profiles.

Absolute Test Accuracy» Measures in all degrees of freedom,facilitating highly accurate simulationof real-world loads and moments» High load capacity and frequency
bandwidth for meeting a broad rangeof test requirements, including ride andhandling applications» Innovative strut design requiring fewer
bearings per degree of freedom» Low-friction actuator design» Adjustable bearings to help minimize
friction and backlash» Lightweight specimen adapter toreduce inertial error

Superior Compensation and Data Control

Industry-Leading Software» Precise control of forces in all degrees
of freedom

MTS RPC® Pro and cRPC® simulation
software is world-renowned for helping
vehicle test labs integrate advanced
simulation and analysis capabilities into
their durability testing, reducing both thecosts of testing and the time required tovalidate test data.

» High-stiffness design and air-cushionbase to reduce extraneous vibration» Cartesian coordinate control capableof commanding in six degrees offreedom» Actuator coordinate control capable ofcommanding one actuator at a time
» Acceleration compensation for
reduced inertial errors in the force
measurement
Advanced Control Technology
The MTS Model 836 multiaxial test system
can be used with the MTS FlexTest® GTController, which provides direct, digital
control of all dynamic system functions.
Featuring multi-channel and multi-station
capabilities, this flexible controller can be
expanded to accommodate up to four test
stations, and can be set up to allow test
management and control with multiple PCs.
