Axle & Gearbox Test Stands

MAE offers a complete and comprehensive line up of axle and gearbox test stands for testing of military and off-road vehicle transmissions, transaxles, hydraulic steer units, and transfer cases. MAE test products and dynamometers are used around the world in advanced R&D labs, universities, prototype labs, production rebuild environments, military depots and repair and remanufacturing facilities.

MAE’s transmission test stands utilize today’s most sophisticated and advanced dynamometer technologies, combining a variety of AC, DC, Servo, PM, EC and hydraulic power absorbers and motors to precisely control transmission input speeds and output loading. MAE’s advanced dynamometer control systems give you the ability to accurately simulate virtually any operating condition you can imagine, including engine pulsation simulation and other advanced inertia simulations.

Mustang’s engineering team possesses vast knowledge and decades of experience in designing, manufacturing, installing and commissioning countless transmission test cells. Let us put our experience to work for you and your team.

Overview

MAE’s Military Series Transmission Test Stands are designed to test transmissions from all military vehicle types and self-propelled artillery.  Many of our Transmission Test Stands are configured to test more than one type of transmission or transfer case.  The E-Series incorporates the latest motor/drive technologies to provide the ultimate AC motor control performance for input speed and torque control, while output loading is handled by utilizing AC-Motors or eddy current PAUs.  Additionally, Engines can be used instead of the AC input motor along with either regenerative AC motor loading units or eddy current loading units. 

A host of options and custom design configurations are available to meet your specific performance criteria.

Many transmission control interface options are available:

  • Pressure, Temperature, Flow and Position Sensors and Measurements
  • TCM interface
  • Automated Shifting units
  • Manual Shifting units
  • Stall Brakes
  • Park Pawl Loading units
  • Brake Actuators
  • Shift Actuators
  • Steer Actuators
  • Throttle Simulation Actuators
  • Cooling Towers
  • Installation and Service Support
  • Engine Vacuum Simulation System
  • Other interfaces required for proper transmission testing.
