2 Poster Motorcycle Ride Simulator
The World of Ride Simulators
The 2 Poster Motorcycle Road Simulator
System is designed to reproduce responses
experienced under normal driving
conditions, to test motorcycle body, frame,
and suspension components.
The forces generated are reproductions of
road surface irregularities as recorded by
field instrumentation of actual responses.

TEST AND MOTION SIMULATION
System Features
The test system incorporates two heavy duty
servohydraulic actuators/ servovalves. These
actuators are fatigue rated to 10kN, 210Bar/3000
PSI operation. The actuators have a 65mm diameter
piston road and are designed with 250mm of total
stroke capability.
An integral, coaxial mounted Linear Variable
Displacement Transducer (LVDT) is housed within
the actuator design to provide precise displacement
data. In addition to the LVDT, a Moog 760 series,
2 stage servovalve is included to provide precise
control flow of oil to the actuator.
The hydraulic portion of the system utilises a single
hydraulic power supply rated at 90 l/minute (LPM) at
210 Bar. A high pressure, 3 micron filter along with
pressure and return line accumulators are included.
Dual pressure solenoids and a high pressure hose
set for routing the hydraulic fluid to the distribution
block are also included. The distribution block
contains one inlet port and two out ports with hose
set to the actuators and is also then rated at 200 l/
min at 210 Bar.
A motorcycle restraint system is included with the 2
Poster test system. The restraint system is designed
to keep the motorcycle in the vertical plain, while not
restricting the suspension movements. System Benefits
• Great reduction in test time.
Wheel Pans • Better control over the test being carried out and
monitoring of derived results.

PULSAR Digital Control
The Servotest Pulsar control system offers users the
very latest in digital control for servohydraulic test
and simulation systems. It employs state-of-the-
art real-time control techniques to ensure optimum
accuracy.
The system is based on a revolutionary I/O system,
using distributed fibre-optic technology. Building
on the success and popularity of its predecessor,
DCS2000, the Pulsar control system provides a
powerful, reliable and flexible total control solution.
The Pulsar software uses the latest and most VTS

This HPS will supply sufficient oil for testing with
a typical road load drive file. This can be between
30-50% of the peak flow. The addition peak flow
required during high velocity/kerb strike tests is
achieved with the 10L accumulator on the SCM.
Servotest specialise in providing tailored solutions,
working closely with customers to achieve
solutions which match their Force and Stokes
requirements.
