The knowledge on the actuator is important in designing a robot that would operate as expected. Stall torque and no-load speed are often used as the measure of actuator performance. When the robot makes interaction with environment, the load condition changes. For the robots that make interaction as a primary objective, the performance of actuators under different load condition should be investigated in order to make a good estimation of the robot performance. In this paper, we propose a test equipment that utilize inertial force to apply force to the actuator while it is moving. The application of this equipment for evaluating miniature electro-hydrostatic actuator is reported.
