The key to a perfect test is accurate mounting and support of the steering wheel aligned with the force measurement system as pictured opposite on a Tinius Olsen U series compression testing machine.

A Tinius Olsen system integrated with Horizon automobile component testing software allows users to conduct quality tests 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As soon as the test is complete the system automatically announces “Pass” or “Fail” in accordance with users QA/QC parameters. The system can be configured to alert Managers by e mail should a component “Fail” independent of operator.

Next time you take hold of your steering wheel it is likely it was tested for strength and performance on a Tinius Olsen testing machine.
