This test and evaluation method is applicable to all items that are subjected to oil seal
durability test.
a) measure and record the damping force before the oil seal endurance test as shown in
5.5.2;
b) fit the upper part of test item on the equipment;
c)
set the piston rod stroke to the middle position which is half of its piston rod length
exposed from its body, L. Refer to Figure 12;
d) fit the lower part;
adjust the temperature to be in the range of (70 10) C. Cooling fan or water jacket can
be used to maintain constant temperature;
f)
en
e) apply a constant lateral side load, F to the rod guide of test item according to Table 4;
om
g) continuously test the test item up to the specified number of cycle as according to
Table 4;
h) check and observe for any abnormal oil leakages at an interval of 50 000 cycles. The test
shall be stopped if any abnormalities are observed;
measure and record damping force of test item after the completion of the oil seal
endurance test as according to 5.5.2; and
j)
check and observe for any abnormal wear on the functional parts by disassembling and
examining the item after the test. Refer Table 4 for evaluation criteria.
