Friction disk sets of clutches and brakes are used, for example, in automatic transmissions. In clutch test benches for such clutches, the friction disks are held in a test chamber on inner and outer disk carriers. The test bench arrangement has a clutch unit which includes first and second disk carriers. The first disk carrier can be moved relative to the second disk carrier. A drive input section includes a drive input mechanism for producing relative movement between the first and the second disk carrier. A first driven shaft is mounted by at least one first bearing unit. The first disk carrier is drive-connected, via the first shaft, to the drive input mechanism. The first shaft is mounted to rotate by virtue of the first bearing unit. The test bench arrangement includes a measuring unit for determining a frictional torque of the first bearing unit.

The invention relates to a device for testing the precision retaining ability and fatigue life of RV reducer. The device includes a workbench, a mounting bracket base, a upper pressure plate for the mounting bracket, a servo motor, a mounting fixed sleeve, a tested RV reducer, a temperature sensor, an extension arm, a simulated swing arm, two counterweight blocks named the first and second counterweight block, the first displacement sensor, a sensor holder, a sensor protector, a detection rod, and the second displacement sensor. The device is equipped with two counterweight blocks at the end of the simulated swing arm to simultaneously provide variable loaded torque and loaded bending moment to the RV reducer. The first displacement sensor is placed under the counterweight block to measure the positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy of RV reducer. The second displacement sensor is placed under the detection rod to measure the bending stiffness of RV reducer. After running for a specified time, the precision retaining ability, fatigue life and wear rule of RV reducer are tested. The invention provides an experimental basis for theoretical research on the wear rule and accelerated life of RV reducer.

A first shaft segment and a second shaft segment are joined by a first fastener and a second fastener to form a shaft test assembly. The first shaft segment and the second shaft segment are each curved between first and second circumferential ends. A method of testing a shaft includes displacing a first applicator part relative a second applicator part to exert a load on the shaft test assembly. The resulting shear stress on the shaft test assembly can be measured to determine material properties of the shaft. A first applicator part extends at least partially into the shaft test assembly and interfaces with the first shaft segment to apply a load. A second applicator part extends at least partially into the shaft test assembly and interfaces with the second shaft segment to apply a load.

The disclosure provides a driving force applied position estimation system that can accurately estimate an applied position of a driving force from an occupant. A measurement system includes a six-axis force sensor provided in a wheelchair, a rotation angle recognition part which recognizes a rotation angle of the six-axis force sensor, and a COP estimation part which estimates a COP that is the applied position of the driving force from the occupant to the wheelchair. The COP estimation part estimates the COP based on a translational force and a moment detected by the six-axis force sensor and based on the rotation angle recognized by the rotation angle recognition part to improve estimation accuracy of the COP estimation part and measurement accuracy of the measurement system.

A control device of a dynamometer system includes a mechanical loss arithmetic unit that generates a loss compensation signal corresponding to loss torque generated in a dynamometer body in a state where a load is connected, on the basis of an angular velocity detection signal, a characteristic vibration suppression control circuit that generates a compensation signal in order to suppress a characteristic vibration of a swinging element, and a torque current command signal generating unit that generates a torque current command signal by subtracting the compensation signal from an upper level torque command signal.
