Endurance Test Rig for Geared Motors

• Check the behaviour of a geared motor unit over time
• Assess the various components of the geared motor
• Identify and analyze failures of the geared motor (electrical and mechanical)
• Conduct investigations
• Measure vibration, torque, speed and temperature
• Conduct physical and chemical analyses of grease and lubricants

• 2 three-phase converters used for powering two geared motors connected via a drive shaft:
  – a “motor” unit
  – a “load” unit
• Test rig operation
  – Operating cycles adapted to requirements: Thermal loads, trip simulation
  – Operates round-the-clock, 7 days a week
• Real-time monitoring and measuring system
• Control systems capable of powering synchronous and asynchronous geared motors
