Dynamic Testing

Mechanical testing machines: static, dynamic, fatigue and impact

Steplab is specialized in the production of highly customizable machines and test benches. All systems are based on the electronic platform and software Test Center developed in house.

STEP Lab was founded in 2011 as a manufacturer of machines for mechanical testing. Today STEP Lab is a company that produces and sells electromechanical and electrodynamic systems for static, dynamic and impact mechanical tests.


The product range of STEP Lab is divided into the following areas: Electromechanical actuators based on ball screw, Electrodynamic actuators based on linear motor technology, Drop Towers, Climate Chambers and Robot Based Systems.


All our machines are based on electrical actuation and are managed by the same controller and software interface Test Center, the result of constant implementation and optimization.
STEP Lab is also specialized in the realization of customized testing systems.

Dynamic and fatigue testing machines

The purpose of dynamic fatigue tests is to determine the behavior and service life of the material in a certain state of supply under set fatigue cycles. The fatigue test is performed when it is desired to characterize the behaviour of a given material subjected to sub-critical stresses, verifying its service life under a defined load profile fluctuating between a set maximum and minimum value.
