Testing a Car Steering Rack - Mecmesin Force Measurement

This video shows a car steering rack being tested to see how much force is needed to operate it over its full working range of movement. The average force recorded shows how smooth the rack is when moved from one end of travel to the other. The test is conducted on a Mecmesin 25-i PC-controlled twin column test system, driven by Emperor force testing software. The software records the peak and average force as the steering rack is moved backwards and forwards.
