Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of test stands for gears. The most convenient solution to test or brake in gear transmissions is the closed-loop stand. Its general features and basic assemblies are described. The paper develops the design of the loading coupling and presents constructive solutions manufactured and tested in laboratory. The loading device itself is a complex assembly which simulates the external loading in functioning. Mathematical approach and constructive elements are presented for a loading device based on a scheme of a quasi-differential mechanism. Also, three solutions for automated control of progressive loading are developed to work together with the quasi-differential.
