Drive Shaft Simulation System Drive Shaft Simulation System is designed for automotive CV joint and drive shaft testing. All components are designed to handle up to 300 hp continuously or torque up to 3000 Nm or speed up to equivalent rotation speed to vehicle velocity 300 km/h. This system will faithfully reproduce speed, torque, jounce and steer motion simultaneously on four specimens. The complete assembly is dynamically balanced to operate smoothly over a whole operating speed range. This system is capable of superior simulation and block cycle testing. This system provides a high performance solution to your dynamic experiment requirements.

Fig. 1 Over view of Drive Shaft Simulation System Figure 1 shows the overview of the Drive Shaft Simulation System (without the safety cover). This system is designed to use four drive shaft specimens which are for the torque loop and a road load data from the real car. The simulation works from driving motion, jounce motion, and steering motion to the specimen. The main hardware components for this system are driving section for the driving motion, jounce section for the jounce motion, steering section for the steering motion, and a torque generation section for the torque. Table 1 shows the...

Fig. 5 Drive Shaft Simulation System Schematic Diagram Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the Drive GB LAN to the controller and the data from the test Shaft Simulation System. is used as a real time feedback in the controller and The control system has two main parts which are transferred to a user interface module and showed user interface and a controller. This system has a four axes motion system including torque motor The torque from the torque generator has a torque system, driving motor system, jounce motor system, loop that is engaged to four specimens and gets the and steering motor...

Fig. 6 Drive shaft Simulation System Software The lubrication line is installed in serial to eliminate organized by the user interface module and controller to control every test steps. difference between each line. The heated lubricant To simulate the road load data, the basic format is can reuse after the cooling at the chiller. the RPC-3 with 4 channel data file. There is a cooling fan to prevent increasing the In the main graph window, the user can select the room temperature and heating up the motor system object to show the graph which the user wants. from the safety guard. In addition,...
