Application

GIANT 9000 Series

Overview

The major test target is to detect noise and vibrations generated by the vehicles brake. Our intention was to build a dynamometer that can operate either with brakes mounted to the complete vehicle, or with just the axle module mounted to a universal adaptor system or wheel suspensions.

By means of this dynamometer, the brakes can be exposed to either stop brakings or endurance brakings according to standardized NVH test matrix.

Features

Standard Features

Machine base frame with vibration insulation
48" roller set with special bearings and emergency brake
Dynamometer cover and noise encapsulation
Fixing system for passenger car & van
AC-drive motor and AC/DC power converter
Control system for hydraulic braking pressure or braking torque
Control system for electrical inertia simulation
Control system for electrical vehicle physics simulation
Basic measuring system for pressure / torque / speed / temperature
Logical dynamometer control with Siemens PLC
Computer system for automated testing
Safety devices

Advantages

Exact road simulation
Highly accurate test speed and tractive force measurement
Quick control of tractive force
Protection of tires due to large roller diameter
Excellent reproducibility of test results
Tests according to worldwide known standards
Easy to service

Applications

Technical examinations of noise and vibration on brakes, installed in complete passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
Realistic processing of NVH problems in the brakes in connection with the completed vehicle
Examination of noise and judder
Examination of creep and groan in vehicles with automatic transmission
Testing of damping measures such as noise shims or coating of the friction linings
Testing of complete brake units for passenger cars
Testing of drum and disk brakes of any type and size
