Mechanical transmission testing bed AVL

Mechanical Components

The mechanical design of the test bed has to be matched to the very specific requirements of a powertrain test bed which can vary considerably.

With all-wheel vehicles, for instance, the different wheelbase has to be taken into account. The challenge for the mechanics therefore is that the dynamometers have to be adjustable. The AVL solution allows simple axle and track adjustment by manual (or as an option automatic) shifting of the DynoWheel machines.

All the other modular mechanical standard components are specified to the requirements of powertrain testing and comprehensively tried and tested.

The special mechanical configuration of OptimaTest Powertrain test bed is modular and open for future extensions.
The flexible mechanical configuration of the AVL solution gives users a test bed with multi-configuration capability. The highly dynamic all-wheel powertrain test bed can easily be reconfigured for testing vehicles with front and rear-wheel drive. Different tests can therefore be carried out on the same test bed which makes for enormous cost savings.

The versatility of the test bed with its multi-configuration capability guarantees operators higher productivity, saving time and money.
