Automotive Performance Testing

Kinematics and Compliance Testing (K&C)

Used to determine the suspension characteristics that are essential for the vehicle's ride and handling properties by applying controlled forces and displacements. Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) Testing also measures the kinematics properties due to suspension and steering lay-out and compliances due to springs, anti-roll bars, bushings and other components.

Products
A two-corner measurement system that features two hexapods to control the wheel motion and a steering wheel actuator. Uses an integrated software tool to control the tests, acquire measurement data and to analyze the data.

Proven Solution
The Moog K&C Test System is used at a major OEM's site in Asia Pacific for design verification and the vehicle development process. Due to fast test set-up and immediate results it is valuable for quickly assessing design and component changes.
