Test Rigs and Dynamometers

For more than 10 years Control Techniques has been applying drives to test applications such as in the automotive industry. During this time we have supplied equipment to the majority of car manufacturers and Formula 1 teams. Unidrive SP is a high precision drive system that is well adapted to driving automotive test stand equipment. Typical test applications include:

  • Rolling road dynamometer
  • Engine test stand
  • Transmission test stand
  • Wind tunnel

Automotive Test Equipment

 Unidrive SP offers some of the following significant benefits in test stand applications:

  • Real time drive-to-drive network for multi drive synchronisation
  • Fast current loop for dynamic test applications
  • Linear torque control within 1% of demand using motor temperature compensation
  • Wide speed range, from 0 - 400Hz in closed loop applications
  • Speed set-point accuracy of 0.001 rpm
  • DC bus and regenerative configurations
