In the case of a roundabout, the "sensitive" element is the rotating shaft, the main part on this type of play equipment.
Two tests are carried out to ensure the correct sizing for the component.
A check in a specialist centre to validate the material selected for use.
Followed by specific fatigue tests that put the roundabout through actual conditions of use, with a load of 300 kg. Many hours of continuous operation are necessary to test the shaft under extreme conditions and check its reliability.
The results are noted and analysed, and if necessary lead to modifications on the element concerned. This is then re-tested to ensure the highest reliability and durability. |
