About the system
The driveline static torsion bench loads half-shafts, CV shafts, propshafts, axles, gearboxes and welded joints with rising torque at very low speed to determine torsional stiffness, yield and fracture strength. The torque-angle curve is recorded with ±0.1% FS torque and ≤0.01° angle accuracy, and fracture is detected automatically. Standard up to 150 kNm and on request 200 kNm and above; the quasi-static version applies ±10 kNm at 2.5–60 r/min.
Technical scope
- 0–150 kNm static (200 kNm+ on request)
- Quasi-static ±10 kNm at 2.5–60 r/min
- Angle accuracy ≤0.01°
- Half-shafts, CV shafts, propshafts, axles, weld strength
Test functions and capabilities
- Torque-angle curve, torsional stiffness and strength
- Bevel gear support stiffness
- Weld strength (torsion)
- Torque or angle control, unlimited rotation angle
- Mounting with inner/outer joint angles
- Automatic fracture detection
