The solid mechanical components together with a set of built-in torque sensors, an advanced LABVIEW-based control software and electronic cabinets, that maintains the good test repeatability, while being more user friendly and more intelligent.

Innowep supplies 2 versions of FARAX-Gear test rigs: 1. FARAX-Gear-MU: the test rig is equipped with a set of dead weights or a tension ratchet as a mechanical load applied on one shaft with a clutch. 2. FARAX-Gear-H: the load is applied via an automatic hydraulic system (GAT MOOG) on one shaft with a maximum torque of +/- 800 Nm.

Both versions of FARAX-Gear test rigs are driven by an electric motor with the speed up to 6000 rpm. Temperatures can be preset and controlled for the oil supply; Optional lubrication unit is supplied for spray lubrication for pitting, micro pitting and scuffing test.
