Mechanical Testing

Clark Testing’s mechanical testing capabilities include structural, load, fatigue, durability, efficiency, performance and cyclical aging. Clark’s structural/fatigue, static/dynamic load and rotary and torsional testing are conducted under our ISO 17025 Quality Assurance program with ITAR certification. The structures floor at Clark Testing is capable of applying static and dynamics loads up to 1.5 million lbs. Clark’s dynamometer lab provides efficiency, durability and performance testing on gearboxes, transmissions, clutches, brakes and motors. The Clark dyno lab can test high torque, load and speed (rpm) based on the required application. Clark mechanical testing capabilities also include validation and integration of hydraulic and pneumatic components and systems.
