BS-SAT |
This trainer is a modern up-to-date demonstration system and test stand for suspension and shock absorbers featuring a computer for data acquisition of test data and analysis of results. The trainer explores the construction and performance of shock absorbers as well as the operation and characteristics of suspensions.
The test stand unit features a standard automotive tire and independent suspension system which is interactively operable with variable road conditions. The test stand consists of a rear axle with wheel, suspension, shock absorber and coil spring all of which are original genuine automotive parts. Conditions are simulated electrically by means of a drive roller and an oscillation generator. The wheel (tire) is rotated by a heavy duty rotating drum which simulates the road surface. The drum is able to be oscillated up and down with a variable speed control thereby simulating a variety of rough and smooth road surfaces. The upper part of the trainer above the wheel simulates the car body (chassis) and the active effects of the suspension may be observed by the resulting motion of the body and interaction with different weight loads.
A great many experiments and variations in set-up may be conducted and the results observed. The elements which may be varied include :
|
a. |
Different types of Shock Absorbers can be tested (trainer includes two different types). |
|
|
b. |
Position of shock absorber can be changed (16 positions) |
|
|
c. |
Weights can be applied to the chassis to simulate different loads. |
|
|
d. |
Weights can be applied to the axle to simulate different weights of axle construction. |
|
|
e. |
Variable road conditions may be explored through the variable oscillation generator (rough road, smooth & level road, gently undulating road, etc.) |
|
|
f. |
A hand brake is included on the wheel. This can be used to set different friction values the effects of which can be observed. |
The test stand consists of the following items :
|
1. |
Main test stand featuring the wheel, suspension system and drive system. |
|
|
2. |
One coil spring. |
|
|
3. |
One hydraulic shock absorber. |
|
|
4. |
One gas filled shock absorber. |
|
|
5. |
One set of chassis weights. |
|
|
6. |
One set of axle weights. |
|
|
7. |
Computer with Data Acquisition System. |
The test stand includes a computer with a data Acquisition system to record and analyze the performance of the suspension and shock absorber. Position sensors are placed on the chassis, axle and road (drum) surface. The computer will display in graphic form the oscillation and movement of these factors as the tests are conducted. The data is also recorded in the computer for later analysis.
