With the growing adoption of electric vehicles, reducing vehicle rolling resistance is more important than ever. One often overlooked component which can contribute to rolling resistance is the wheel bearing. LINK has designed the Bearing Drag Tester to be a vital tool for measuring, verifying, and improving the efficiency of bearings to increase durability and reduce vehicle rolling resistance.
Key Features
Integrated motor (up to 10,000 rpm) and hydrostatic bearing support the loads applied to the bearing
Hydraulic actuator (+/- 20kN), displacement transducer, and load cell for the application of the radial loads to the bearing
Can apply loads dynamically (up to 2Hz) for various testing cycles
Thermocouple measurement channels for the measurement of test part temperatures
Stiff tubular frame with welded on top a T-slot base plate for supporting the actuators and the rotation unit
