Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Link Model 3602 Dual Head Continuous Slip Friction Test Machine, designed for continuous slip wet friction characterization and durability testing. It highlights the machine's capabilities, specifications, and features.
Specifications: The machine uses standard SAE No. 2 test heads for multi-plate clutch pack testing, with optional heads for larger assemblies. It features dual load cells for torque measurement and a hydraulic system for piston apply force, capable of 27.6 bar (400 psi). The system includes in-line and tank heaters, and water jackets for fluid temperature control.
Performance: Equipped with two 43 kW (57 hp) AC motors, the machine controls slip speeds from 1-600 rpm with an input torque of 678 Nm (500 lb-ft). It includes a fixed inertia disc for speed dampening and offers customizable system inertia.
Control System: The ProLink© controls provide programmability for test parameters, supporting various wet friction slip tests. The system allows for operator-dependent or fully automated operation, with all functions accessible from the console.
Standard Features: Key features include a standard SAE No. 2 test head, variable input speed and torque, and a programmable hydraulic actuation system. The ProLink controls and software enhance test cycle replication.
Typical Specifications: The test head accommodates a maximum friction plate diameter of 241 mm (9.50”) and a pack thickness of 33 mm (1.30”). The main drive motor operates at 0-600 rpm, with a torque output of 678 Nm (500 lb-ft). The test fluid temperature ranges from 30-150˚C (86-302˚F), with a capacity of 4-19 L (1-5 gallons) and a flow rate of 0.1-12.0 lpm.
Data Output: The machine outputs data on dynamic coefficient of friction, negative slope characteristics, fluid and clutch interface temperatures, initial and engagement speeds, cumulative wear, test energy level, torque, and total cycles.
Options: Available options include custom test heads for larger friction plates, load cells for direct apply force measurement, and LVDTs for friction material wear measurement.

This machine uses standard SAE No. 2 test heads designed to support multi-plate clutch pack testing. Optional test heads are available for testing Torque Converter clutch assemblies and multi-plate clutch packs up to 330 mm (13”) in diameter. Test input torque is measured via dual load cells mounted on dual torque arms attached to the head. Test head piston apply force is generated by hydraulic pressure capable of 27.6 bar (400 psi). Test fluid is supplied to the head with a recirculating hydraulic system and fluid temperature is controlled with a system of in-line and tank heaters as well as water jackets in the head for cooling. The Model 3602 is designed with two 43 kw (57 hp), variable speed, continuous duty AC motors that are capable of accurately controlling continuous slip speeds of 1-600 rpm, with an input torque of 678 Nm (500 lb-ft). A fixed inertia disc is mounted to the motor shaft to dampen input speed. System inertia can be customized with alternate disc configuration or simulated with the I-SIM programmable inertia feature. The system controls are designed to provide programmability of test parameters to support a range of wet friction slip characterization and durability testing. Advanced features of ProLink© controls offer operator dependent controls or fully automated, unattended operation. All primary operating machine functions are performed at the console, including selection of test parameters, control modes, display of pertinent data, and monitoring of all test functions.
