The movement device is used in order to verify the mechanical endurance of any kind of linear diverters, with or without automatic return (example: bath to shower diverters or kitchen diverters).
It includes the linear motor used for endurance tests of single lever mixers. A calibrated hydraulic resistance mounted on the tap limits the flow-rate value as indicated in the standards. The test method consists in subjecting the component to cycles of repeated switch from one outlet to the other (including the pressure drop for the return of automatic diverters). The faucet can be supplied by hot and cold water alternately or with the same water for the entire test.
The software allows to control: the stroke of the device, the linear speed and force.
