Mechanical Testing
Our mechanical engineering services include load fatigue and durability, shock and vibration, strength of materials and reliability analysis. We use classical methods of statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, as well as experimental and computational tools to understand components and systems. Our test and analysis laboratory is equipped with load frames, servo-hydraulic actuators and controls, open architecture test beds, environmental chambers, electrodynamic shakers, and other state-of-the-art equipment to meet your test requirements.

Material Analysis
Material analysis applications range from research and development of new materials for new products and applications to continuous improvement and corrective action through forensic engineering and failure analysis. The Rexnord Innovation Center has a long history of providing metallurgical services for ferrous and non-ferrous materials, alloy steels, polymers, and composites.
Additionally, our Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) allows our analysts to not only take a closer look at the problem areas by examining the fracture surface, but also the local composition through Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).

Engineering Services
Our engineering services include on-site testing and analysis, custom test xtures, competitive product evaluation, design and structures engineering, and litigation support.
The on-site testing and analysis services bring the science to your site. Our experts will travel to your location to understand and observe your unique situation, acquire and evaluate data and implement improvements. We have performed on-site testing and analysis around the world including locations with extreme cold, heat and humidity.
We have the ability to design and fabricate custom test fixtures to meet specifications or to simulate service environments.
In addition, we also offer unbiased, competitive product evaluation services. Our design and structure engineers can work independently or as part of your team to provide design ideas.
Our licensed engineers, and PhD level scientists, can be at your side to serve as expert witnesses if litigation support is needed.
