Functioning

For the test the foot is secured on a glimbal-mounted baseplate and subjected to a preset loading by way of a hydraulic ram. Depending on the position of the upper or lower load-application lever, varying forces are generated, e.g. axial forces, moment in a sagittal and frontal direction, and torque. The loadings are measured in a measuring pylon by strain gauges. Measurement of the preset force is performed by a load cell located just behind the hydraulic ram. ( next page ... )
