This invention relates to a hysteretic loading test
system for small-
tonnage dampers, belonging to the field of
vibration control technology. It includes a steel main frame, H-beams, a lifting
system, a guiding device, a loading
system, a
data acquisition system, and a
damper connection device. The steel main frame includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a platform plate on the same plane of symmetry; the lifting system includes a worm gear lift, a lead screw, an
AC motor, and eccentric blocks; the guiding device includes two spaced linear optical axes; the loading system includes a
servo electric cylinder, a
servo driver, a braking
resistor, and a PLC module; the
data acquisition system includes a
data acquisition instrument, sensor connectors,
spoke-type tension / compression sensors, synchronization bolts, and wire-type displacement gauges; the
damper connection device includes a force transmission support and a
damper connection conversion platform. This invention can be applied to hysteretic loading tests of small-
tonnage dampers, testing the mechanical properties of dampers, and can also be applied to other mechanical tests.
