SAKOR Technologies Inc., a recognized leader in the area of high-performance dynamometer systems, announces that it recently provided a new test stand for testing clutches, transfer cases, and other torque transfer devices for a major international provider of power train components. Powerful, flexible, and designed for maintainability, the powertrain test stand will be used for testing torque transfer components in small passenger to medium industrial vehicles.
The SAKOFeaturing a wide array of data acquisition channels, the new test stand can collect information on temperature, pressure, flow, and speed. With controller area network (CAN) ports for communication with the customer’s smart controllers, the system can automatically shift the unit under test and also has the ability to directly control older devices that lack CAN communication capability.
“The new test stand has been built for maximum flexibility and adjusts quickly and easily to any transfer case system being tested,” said Randal Beattie, president of SAKOR. “It takes minimal operator time to set up and install test units, so what used to take many hours and long drive shafts can now be done in a matter of minutes.”
