Abstract

In this paper a back-to-back test bench for experimental characterization of planetary gear transmissions is described. Some considerations related to the design of this kind of devices as well as the compromises and general features of the proposed design are presented. Particular attention is given to the instrumentation layout and the alternatives foreseen for measurement. In the last chapter, some results are presented in order to show the capabilities of the bench configuration.
