The test allows the shifting fork to be fatigue tested according to the FPW.MTD016 standard, applying an alternating uniaxial load to the snug. 
The fork is fixed to a tool designed by ToProveLab to replicate the actual conditions of use of the component.
Fatigue testing can be performed both for periodic production checks and to assess the impact of process changes or materials changes on the component fatigue life.
The MTS actuator can also be used for specific component fatigue testing according to customer requirements.
