DURABILITY HIGH-SPEED (PROPSHAFTS)

Test rigs performing at higher speeds than the 4-square configuration intended for durability tests of propshafts. Both real-time –road profile– signals and plateau type multi-block programs can be reproduced.

The test rig consists of two asynchronous e-machine arranged face-to-face without gearboxes nor mechanical transmissions, being the propshafts mounted in between. The temperature of the specimens’ joints is monitored with pyrometers and air-cooling systems can be included.

Performance of these test rigs for standard configurations:

• Torques up to 3000 Nm
• Spinning speeds up to 9000 rpm
