Pneumatic modular frame

The LiTeM pneumatic test systems include three main components:
• Real Time Controller RTC
• K-PN pneumatic actuator
• MF-P or BYC series modular frame (available in MF-P series, BYC series or custom version)
The range offers single-axis and multi-axis systems. Actuators can have different and interchangeable features; test frames can be configured also according to non-standard shapes and measurements.
Thanks to their flexibility and modularity, these test systems can be easily adapted for any type of need related to the type of test and sample dimensions. The actuator or actuators can be positioned at any point of the frames using the appropriate LiTeM supports.

BYC 400 Pneumatic Modular Frame
Pneumatic Modular Frame
BYC 400

The BYC-400 frame belongs to the MF-P (Modular Frame Pneumatic) family of modular pneumatic systems, designed and manufactured to perform static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on materials and finished components.
The BYC-400 test bench has also been designed to meet the testing needs in the bicycle and motorcycle sector in accordance with ISO 4210 and EN 15194 standards. For this purpose, a complete series of grips is available for this type of test.
The construction details make the BYC-400 test frame a flexible and reliable system for any type of test. The workbench is equipped with a series of constant-pitch holes for clamping the most complex components.
The upper crossbar accommodates the two vertical actuators and allows their positioning at any point (X-Y) of the work area. The telescopic columns (electrically operated) ensure the convenient vertical positioning of the system (Z) and the necessary rigidity for the correct execution of all tests.
The actuators can also be mounted horizontally, ensuring maximum flexibility in the most complex tests. All necessary accessories are available.
The entire test area is protected by polycarbonate panels that allow perfect visibility during the execution of the tests. The interlock system of the openings ensures the complete safety of the operator.
The system is compatible with the K-PN series of pneumatic actuator kits, related anchoring brackets, and Real Time RTC 9000 Controllers.
Applications
The BYC-400 system finds its natural application in the bicycle and motorcycle sector. Thanks to the presence of a wide range of grips, it is particularly suitable for the following tests:
- Static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on the front fork;
- Static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on frames;
- Static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on seat post;
- Static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on braking systems - brake lever;
- Static, fatigue, and stiffness tests on pedal groups and cranks.
