## Tested in the Harshest Conditions: Servotecnica Brings Extreme Testing In-House

Servotecnica has brought its testing in-house, accelerating the design and validation processes for custom slip rings capable of withstanding extreme temperatures ranging from –50°C to +180°C.

### Precise Tests for Harsh Environmental Conditions

In the world of motion control, environmental conditions are among the most critical factors. Standard slip rings are insufficient for applications such as an Arctic wind turbine or a robotic arm operating near a blast furnace. Traditionally, testing for such specialized products would take weeks in third-party laboratories.

Servotecnica, however, has brought this process in-house, directly conducting high-standard environmental tests.

### Servotecnica Extreme Testing Capabilities

• Full Thermal Range: Accurate temperature tests from –50°C (high altitude or deep space conditions) to +180°C (intense industrial heat)
• Climate Control: Humidity levels adjustable from 10% to 98% to pre-identify risks of internal condensation and oxidation
• Thermal Shock Testing: Sudden temperature changes and cold start conditions verify the durability of mechanical tolerances

### Faster Results with In-House Facilities

Conducting tests in-house provides Servotecnica with the following advantages:

• Rapid Design Cycles: For example, if a seal material fails at –40°C, the design can be immediately revised and retested
• Elimination of Scheduling Barriers: The process is completed much faster without the logistical procedures of external laboratories
• Realistic Validation: Customer-specific real-world conditions, such as cable assembly stresses or internal grease performance under high heat, can be simulated precisely

### The Future of Industrial Engineering

As CEO Matteo Salgarello states, environmental conditions define the limits of performance. By testing designs early and frequently, Servotecnica moves away from predictive engineering and aims to provide full predictability. Whether for underwater robotics or desert surveillance systems, the goal is to offer custom solutions that can survive in all conditions.

Servotecnica's new testing infrastructure elevates performance and durability criteria in industrial applications to the next level.
