Aircraft Actuator Test Stands

Emprise Actuator Test Stands are designed to test aircraft actuators such as flap actuators and cargo door openers. Three power sources drive the actuators in various directions, and the stands come equipped with instrumentation to measure actuator speed, load, current, and voltage. The stand below is designed with dual testing stations that allow increased accuracy over a wider testing range. One side is high speed (up to 4,000 rpm) and the other side is high torque (up to 5,000 in-lb). Emprise custom designs each test stand to meet our client's specific testing needs.
