Pump test bench
Model 2300 Link Engineering

The Link Model 2300 Power Steering Pump Tester is designed for testing hydraulic automotive steering pumps. This test stand consists of a fixture-mounting table with a universal fixture mounting plate, which allows for the mounting of a wide range of pump mounting configurations. The drive assembly consists of a 40hp, 10,000 RPM water-cooled vector duty motor, and a fixture-mounting table.

The fixture-mounting table rides vertically on two linear slides with an air cylinder to actuate the table. A load cell is mounted between the air cylinder and the table to measure belt load so that a specific amount of belt load can be placed on the steering pump. The fixturing assembly consists of a universal mounting bracket and universal mounting plate that allow testing of a wide range of pumps.

ProLink Software controls machine operation and handles data acquisition, reduction and automatic report generation. It is LAN compatable so test reports can be retrieved from the network as soon as the test is completed.
