Re:Test Engineers can help you with Designing Building and Using a Portal Frame.

Postal frames provide a highly versatile testing structure that can be used to test a broad range of components. They are a valuable addition to any structural test lab. Portal frames are essentially large versions of loadframes, but have the added ability to attach multiple actuators in different directions to construct a multi-axial test system. Applications for portal frames include (but not limited to):

• Rail Bed Tests

• Rail Bogie Tests

• Leaf Springs

• Automotive and Truck Component and Suspension Tests

With over 32 years of experience, Nigel Linden can help you with all aspects of designing, building and using portal frames for your tests. His experience ranges from  designing test systems, developing block profiles, using fatigue analysis to derive PVT sequences, performing real-time simulation etc. 

If you need help with performing field instrumentation and strain gauging, field data acquisition, data analysis,  fatigue life prediction,  fixture design,  or test design we can help. 

Re:Test is the only unbiased source for help on testing. Because we are not affiliated with an equipment supplier, we are uniquely positioned to be able to provide you with the advice you need, given your requirements and circumstances.

Our on-line training class teaches students to use servo-hydraulic test equipment for testing, or we can provide you with on-site consulting, training, or work on a specific issue for you.

We can also help you with outsourcing your testing, developing test lab strategies, designing tests, or  expanding your testing capabilities.
