Advantages Compared to Commonly Used Eccentric Driven Machines:  

5 to 10 times faster 
Short set-up times 
Simple, quick and reliably adjustable 
Low power consumption 
Universal use 
Spectrum testing possible, using an external amplitide generator 

Purpose of Testing Stabilizer Bars:  

In the development phase: 

- Assessment of procedures to increase the fatigue behavior of stabilizers 
- Release for production 
- Assessment of the influence of fatigue relevant parameters 
- Investigation of damage accumulation problems by the possibility of spectrum testing 

In the production phase: 

- Test for quality control according to the requirements
