General Technical Description
Test benches have a wide
variety of applications in power transmission engineering. They are used to
determine properties of test objects in research, development, manufacturing
and quality assurance. The drive train components which are predominantly
tested on test benches include, but are not limited to, engines, gearboxes,
transmission elements and consumables. Given the multitude of testing tasks,
the specific requirements for couplings on test benches are quite diverse. The
TOK coupling system can be used in almost all applications. and on test benches
in particular. The wide range of flexible coupling elements, adaptations and
connection shafts ensures that a standard solution is almost always available
in a wide variety of different tasks. These can be complemented by specific
customised designs on request.
The
flexible element is designed to combine high torque transmission capacity with
high speed capability. Its torsional stiffness can be adapted to requirements
by selecting different types of rubber.
Bearings
or integrated joints support the loads arising from the connection between the
drive end and the output end. Cardan shafts, constant velocity (CV) shafts and
compact shafts are available as connections which also compensate for
displacements. Adaptive designs are based on the standard DIN or SAE ?ange
connection dimensions, the CV shaft joints and the torque measuring flanges.
The couplings cover a torque range from approx. 100 Nm at 10 000 min-1 up to 70
000 Nm at 1 800 min-1.
