Test Rig Technology

Technological Features
  • For extensive tests on drive systems and components
  • Up to 90% fewer operating costs than with power test benches
  • No dependence between rotation rate and torque
  • Flexibility due to modular construction
  • Highly precise test construction with long product life
  • Reliable automatic control of load collectives and dynamic load
  • Simple operation
Functionality

Today’s testing requirements demand flexible test bench technology that makes it possible to simulate extensive conditions of possible uses, and to evalaute the performance precisely to optimize and secure the quality of the product. In addition, it must be possible to operate the test bench economically and efficiently, whereby different items with various capacities and transmissions can be easily tested.
GAT concentrates on two types of test benches that fulfill these requirements:
Torque Test Bench

The hydraulic torque test bench for quasistatic to high dynamic tests of drive system components. The bench allows every possible performance simulation due to the independant control of rotation rate and torque, thus saving up to 90% of the operating costs over a purely power test bench, because of recirculation of the mechanical energy.
Torsion Test Bench

The torsion test bench for high frequency vibration tests on components and drive system parts, in which the the torsion stress is directly transferred, due to the torque being created hydraulically, thus enabling loss-free torque measurement.
For these benches, we offer services and components that guarantee useful, cost-optimized adaptation to the application, because of their modular construction. The expandability gives security with regard to future demands, and makes it possible to refit existing test benches in order to profit from the test bench technological advantages of GAT.
