1. Introduction / 介绍
Thisquotation describes a test rig used to make measurements of the characteristicsof constant velocity joints and drive shafts. The rig operates and recordsresults automatically. The following functional char-acteristic values ofjoints and drive shafts can be measured according to PV3509 Standard and:
- Rotation torque (Drag torque)
- Articulation torque eitherrotating or stationary under static applied torque or load free
- Eccentricity
- Axial lash
- Rotational lash (backlash)
- Angle – displacement diagram
- Static plunge resistance
* Torque,articulation torque and plunge force are measured on the test jointsthemselves. This eliminates errors due to frictional forces in the rigbearings.
Thetorque load cells for the drag and articulation torques are manufactured totolerance class 0.1.
3. Control and Analysis / 控制与分析
Controlparameters
Thearticulation angle rate of change of 15°/s is reached, at the latest, after 5°of movement.
Theanalysis software is used to record all the measurement parameters during atest. This allows the maximum flexibility in the choice of the subsequentanalysis. The software provides all the standard dis-play formats e.g. timehistories or X-Y diagrams.
Thecontrol and analysis system allows test procedures (both rig control and dataprocessing) to be programmed to run fully automatically.
