Power­train Testing

A test’s focus can vary signi­fi­cant­ly here. It can rela­te to the beha­viour of indi­vi­du­al compon­ents in the over­all system or to the effects of diffe­rent boun­da­ry condi­ti­ons and loads.

The great compa­ra­bi­li­ty of load condi­ti­ons also offers the possi­bi­li­ty of trans­fer­ring vehic­le tests from vehic­le to test bench with high repro­du­ci­bi­li­ty, high avai­la­bi­li­ty and high measu­re­ment quality.

Chal­lenges of Test­ing Comple­te Powertrains

Tasks in this over­all system conside­ra­ti­on result from tech­ni­cal equip­ment and deve­lo­p­ment progress of modern drive­train topo­lo­gies, for example:

• Diffe­rent trans­mis­si­on types
• Func­tion­a­li­ty of diffe­rent ener­gy converters
• Ener­gy storage
• Degree of hybridisation
• Combi­na­ti­on of conven­tio­nal and EV-axles
• EV drives
• Fuel cell drives

Process Hand­ling

The comple­ti­on of a project for our custo­mers can be divi­ded into three phases:

Areas of Respon­si­bi­li­ty of Power­train Testing

From Comple­te Power­train to Indi­vi­du­al Components

• Manu­al, auto­ma­tic, trans­fer and rear axle transmissions
• Elec­tri­fied gears
• Clut­ches
• Lubri­cant and coolant

The large number of diffe­rent poten­ti­al test specem­ins illus­tra­te how high demands are on the test bench and how many diffe­rent test prod­e­cu­res are requi­red. Our high­ly flexi­ble multi-machi­ne test benches allow test­ing of the indi­vi­du­al compon­ents in count­less configurations.
