Kistler has launched a modular test
stand system designed for testing
electric motors and gearing in the
research and development laboratory,
at production end of line and for
quality assurance analysis. The test
stands can incorporate a wide range of
torque and speed sensors with manual
or computer control.

The computer controlled test stands
can be equipped with an integrated
power analyser with up to 12 voltage
and 12 current measurement channels
to provide separate efficiency
specification for the motor and
converter. The load on the motor
under test is provided by an active
brake working in four quadrants.
