The AIDCO 450E-Series transmission test stands are designed for testing automatic, fully-automated manual, or manual in-line transmissions used in commercial or military medium to heavy-duty applications. It uses a variable speed, high-efficiency electric motor and drives to simulate the engine driving the transmission. This progressively engineered, quiet, compact torque converter test system keeps vehicle downtime to a minimum by greatly reducing critical failures on the road or in the field. In most cases, performance testing on this machine will eliminate the cost of additional dis-assembly and repair for rebuilt or serviced components.

The Model 450E uses a variable speed, high-efficiency electric motor and drive to simulate the engine driving the transmission. This progressively engineered, quiet, compact torque converter test system keeps vehicle downtime to a minimum by greatly reducing critical failures on the road or in the field. In most cases, performance testing on this machine will eliminate the cost of additional dis-assembly and repair for rebuilt or serviced components.

Features

Includes an Eddy Load Unit that connects to the transmission’s output to apply a load, simulating actual operating conditions.
Splined input facilitates quick transmission coupling and alignment.
Transmissions with SAE #1 flange mount directly to the 450E bell housing. Adapter rings are available for other SAE sizes.

Benefits

System includes ten pressure taps for monitoring pressures within the unit under test.
Indexing allows for rotation of a mounted transmission so the operator can easily access the valve body.
Designed to accommodate remotely mounted transmissions using optional transmission drive, adapter, and worktable extension kits.

Test the following equipment:

Transmission and Torque Converter

Types:

Heavy-duty, on-highway, inline transmissions
Heavy-duty, off-highway, inline transmissions for Allison engines

Parameters Measured:

Check and set shift points (automatic)
Full and closed throttle upshift and downshift test (loaded or unloaded)
Downshift inhibitor test
Measure output torque
Locate shaft seal leaks
Identify clutch leakage
Check noise/vibration
Detect mechanical binding
Check main, clutch, lube and converter pressure
Monitor converter flow and temperature
