Fatigue testing services for high speed bending testing
Rotating Beam test run
Rotating beam fatigue testing offers straightforward flexural fatigue testing of metals at high test frequencies for testing requiring achievement of high cycle fatigue runs. Accutek’s rotating bending testing services offer our clients an economical way to accomplish high cycle fatigue testing projects.
Accutek’s rotating beam testing services consist of a machined and polished rod which is rotated for a predetermined number of cycles, unless failure occurs first, about its long axis while loaded as a beam. During rotating beam testing, the test specimen’s surface material is subject to the greatest amount of stress. This type of fatigue testing can be useful for determining properties of surface treatments or coatings.

Accutek’s rotating beam testing services offer cycles counts greater than 10,000,000 and testing speeds from 500-10,000 rpm.
From specimen machining, to testing and reporting, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and experience to handle your rotating beam fatigue testing project from start to finish. Accutek’s full-service CNC machine shop provides quick, on-site specimen machining and fixture fabrication, if needed.
Accutek tests to many different rotating beam testing specifications, including not limited to:
ISO 1143 - Metals—Rotating bar bending fatigue testing
ASTM F1160 - Standard Test Method for Shear and Bending Fatigue Testing of Calcium Phosphate and Metallic Medical and Composite Calcium Phosphate/Metallic Coatings
