Abstract: Disclosed is a fastening aid for fastening components to a carrier component, in particular a body of a motor vehicle. The fastening aid includes a plate-shaped carrier body composed of a hard component having a fastening side and an attachment side, wherein the attachment side is the side with which the fastening aid is attached to the carrier component. The fastening aid further comprises a soft component provided on the attachment side, wherein the soft component is made from an adhesive material activatable through the carrier body. A fastening element is arranged on the fastening side, which can be connected to a counter-fastening element of a component.

Abstract: A dynamic testing system includes a test station and at least one controller. The test station includes a hydraulic actuator configured to drive an actuation of a test subject using a hydraulic fluid flow, and a control valve that includes a housing, a valve body contained within the housing having a position that controls a flow rate and direction of the hydraulic fluid flow, a valve body driver configured to adjust the position of the valve body based on a reference signal, and a valve position sensor configured to output a position signal that is indicative of the position of the valve body. The at least one controller is configured to obtain a current position of the valve body using the position signal, obtain a diagnostic reference, detect a diagnostic condition based on a difference between the current position and the diagnostic reference, and generate a diagnostic signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a sealing plug, comprising a sealing cover, a sealant and a bracket. The sealing cover is connected to the bracket to sandwich the sealant between the sealing cover and the bracket, and the sealant is at least partially received in a receiving space of the sealing cover. In the sealing plug of the present disclosure, the sealing cover and the bracket are two separate parts, and are then connected together by a connection process such as riveting, and the sealant can be sandwiched between the sealing cover and the bracket. In addition, the sealing plug can restrict the flow of the sealant when the sealant melts, thus avoiding sagging of the sealant after melting or unevenness of the sealant after curing, which not only does not affect the appearance of the component to be sealed, but also ensures the reliability of the sealing plug for sealing the hole of the component to be sealed. In addition, in the sealing plug of the present disclosure, it is only necessary to connect the sealing cover and the bracket both made of metal, which avoids the connection between the sealant that is soft and a metal part, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the sealant.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of improved material (and/or universal) testing machines having a lower crossbeam that may be moved via a drive system of the material testing machine. In some examples, this may be accomplished via drive shafts with different threading in upper and lower portions, and/or independent drive systems for upper and lower crossbeams. The ability to dynamically adjust (e.g., raise) the lower crossbeam may allow an operator to interact with test samples at a more comfortable height, and reduce the need for an operator to repeatedly bend and/or kneel.
