Gearboxes for E-Mobility

Two individually designed test bench gearboxes for the automotive industry

For a long-term customer we have developed two powerful test bench gearboxes, which were adjusted to specific requirements and delivered in August/September 2020. Our customer develops and builds test benches, in this case for a French and Swedish car manufacturer, who uses these test benches to test vehicle drives.

Due to the positive experiences from past orders, the decision for a test bench gearbox from RSGetriebe was easy. Each of the gearboxes were adapted and designed to meet the specific customer requirements. Therefore, the gearboxes are different in power, transmission, drive speed and output torque despite their similar application.

Both gearboxes are equipped with pneumatic shifting and a valve terminal as well as the necessary electrical equipment for monitoring – e.g. for pressure, flow, oil level, vibrations, temperature and the interface for torque sensing.

Together with the dyno, the gearboxes adapt speed and torque to the respective test objects so that the test bench can be versatile. The high-speed shaft can be loaded up to 20,000 rpm and can be disengaged. The low speed shafts of both gearboxes have a drive speed of 6,000 and 3,000 rpm respectively and are equipped with a direct drive. This allows testing in the medium and high-speed range.

In interaction with the dyno, the test bench gearboxes are used to test new drive products and prepare them for series production. The best efficiency is achieved by a pre-configured gearbox, which is low-backlash, low-vibration and noise-optimized.

Tailor-made. Powerful. Customized. RSGetriebe handles demanding challenges in test bench gearboxes with the highest level of expertise. We develop customer-specific machine concepts with our comprehensive RSGetriebe expertise from the initial consultation to commissioning.
