Gear testing
Study of the durability and energy efficiency of gears
Areas of study Selection of commercial lubricants for specific applications: oils, greases, solid lubricants Validation of new lubricant formulations Analysis of materials, surface texture and treatments Geometric design: effect of micro and macro geometric parameters of gears
Testing capacities Test bench for testing spur gears Wide range of working conditions, modes and types of lubrication Analysis of wear, surface fatigue, vibrations, transmission errors and power losses Standard tests (DIN ISO 14635, FVA 54/I-IV, FVA 2/IV, etc.) and development of new testing protocols
