Validation

Testing your drive is critical to verify that the system and its components perform as designed. Our real-time or accelerated tests identify approximate system life and expected modes of failure. They include:
  • Belt
  • Idler
  • Tensioner
  • Bearing durability
  • Noise levels due to belt-pulley interface and alignment
  • Slip threshold and vibration
Test equipment in our North American Innovation Center includes:
  • Dyno Testers
  • Dead Weight Durability Rigs
  • V8 Rigs
  • Hot Box Testers
  • Oscillating Rigs
  • Belt Flex Testers
  • Water Brakes
  • Eddy Current Brakes
  • Environmental Test Chambers
  • Vehicle Test and Instrument Lab

If validating your drive system requires testing beyond the capabilities of our equipment, no problem. We’ll build a custom testing rig for your specific application.

Do you prefer testing in your own lab? That’s no problem either. Send the tested components to us. Our Product Application engineers will analyze the results and send you a Failure Analysis Report, complete with recommended design changes.
