Automated brake noise analysis
For automotive engineers, brake noise provides valuable information about the status and the behaviour of the complete braking system: brake noise analysis is an important part of development testing
Power is transmitted to the rotor by non-contacting inductive transfer allowing maintenance free, continuous operation.
High-speed digital data is transmitted via optical cable to the decoder rack, which can be sited up to 75 m away.
The decoder rack can be expanded to support up to four 32-channel rotor units.
The system has been designed for the harsh shock and vibration environment found in rail and heavy engineering applications.
Directly mounted on railway wheels they can be used for demanding, dynamic applications such as measuring rail contact forces, durability and fatigue, braking and suspension development, and rail track quality.
Complete acquisition systems with additional inputs such as speed, acceleration and GPS position can be supplied with measurement and analysis software.
