GIANT Evo PERFORMANCE

The GIANT Evo Performance is the most compact inertia dynamometer within the GIANT family and as its name implies, is specialized for performance test procedures.

• Most compact inertia dynamometer within the GIANT family
• Designed for basic investigations and performance tests of brake systems
• Accommodation of caliper-disc test assemblies to upright (knuckle) and wheel bearing assemblies

GIANT Evo UNIVERSAL

The GIANT Evo Universal is a very flexible inertia brake dynamometer optimized for both performance tests along with fundamental noise vibration and harshness (NVH) investigations of brake systems.

• Designed to accommodate both performance and noise vibration and harshness testing
• Accommodation of caliper-disc test assemblies to complete axle assemblies

GIANT Evo NVH

The GIANT Evo NVH is specialized for in depth noise vibration and harshness investigations. Utilizing a decoupled frame, the test chamber is isolated from the rest of the dynamometer minimizing background noise and vibrations.

• Full-size NVH inertia brake dynamometer for basic and advanced NVH testing
• Particularly suitable to perform NVH investigations with complete axle structures and suspension strut assemblies
• Climatic tests from -40°C up to +50°C can be performed
• Two separate machine frames, one for the NVH testing station and the other for the drive unit to eliminate background vibrations
• Machine frames resting on vibration isolation, no vibrational absorption from nearby machines 
• Powertrain with sound absorbing housing
• Noise insulation of the test station with max. interior noise level of 55dB (A)
• HORIBA clamping angle with standardized hole pattern for easy adaptation of MacPherson corner 

GIANT Evo NVH PURE

The GIANT Evo NVH Pure is constructed with the same concept as the GIANT Evo NVH however, only the core module and the test platform are provided. This provides the customer with the freedom to use an existing test enclosure for noise vibration and harshness investigations or to purchase one tailored exactly to their needs.

• Test station design prepared to meet the GM-TIP requirements
