East Aurora, N.Y. - June 11, 2021 - Collaboration between Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance motion control products and solutions, and its global partners is helping customers ranging from Thule Group AB to Associated Spring improve and upgrade their test systems.
Thule Takes Testing to the Extreme
Recently, engineers from Moog teamed up with Sweden's Anderstorp Hydraulik AB to understand that Malmö, Sweden-based Thule AB Group, the cargo carrier company, wanted to get more performance out of its Moog hydraulic simulation table system. Thule products are known for passing rigorous testing, including drop tests, shock and crash tests.
As Thule adjusted its system requirements including increasing oil pressure, an imbalance emerged in the system. While Thule could perform its ISO-standard test protocols, they ran into challenges when trying to conduct more demanding 'Thule-standard' tests. After conducting interviews with Thule staff, the Anderstorp-Moog team of hydraulic experts repositioned the hydraulic pumps connected to the test rig and added a pressure-control valve. The changes lifted oil pressure from 190 bars to 210 bars, which accommodated faster and larger movements for simulating more rugged testing.
'We brought in a multidisciplinary team to solve the challenge and improve the test rig, so Thule could use it for the widest possible array of tests,' said Ian Weir, Moog's business development manager in the Netherlands.
