Model 2490 Link Engineering

The durability of brake components is an important part of the brake manufacturer's matrix of safety responsibilities. The Model 2490 Torque Durability Machine is designed to provide low-speed, high-torque durability testing for caliper assemblies, parking brake systems, and associated brake hardware.

The machine's design takes advantage of Link's durable dynamometer components and utilizes tailstocks, brake applies and parking brakes from these systems. Tailstocks with in-line torque transducers are used for mounting the brake fixtures that can be the same as used on the Link Dynamometers.

The two independent brake apply systems are the same as those used in LINK dynamometer design and provide constant pressure or constant torque capabilities. The portable servo controlled parking brake apply system can be used with either the Torque Durability Machine or a dynamometer by simply plugging it into the tailstock.
