Numerous R&D activities have been carried out over the years. The activities have led to the creation of a wealth of experience. Often these activities have involved the design and construction of dedicated test benches for conducting experimental test campaigns at the company or at the customer's premises. We would like to thank our customers for sharing these success stories with us.

Test bench for isothermal cellsThe isothermal cell test bench has been designed and built for Fratelli Benaglio in order to simulate the static and dynamic load conditions acting on an isothermal cell moving on the road. The test bench allows the testing of cells with a mass of up to 4.5 tonnes, applying, in several directions, accelerations of up to 1 g at a frequency of 5 Hz.

Test bench RACER-LGBThe RACER-LGB test bench was designed for Avio Aero. The test bench allows the testing of the Lateral Gear Box (LGB) of the AIRBUS RACER helicopter. The test bench is of the mechanical power recirculation type with a circulating power of about 2 MW and a maximum speed of 3,500 rpm (LGB input). The test bench is currently being assembled at Avio Aero's Sangone laboratory.

CVT test benchThe CVT test bench was designed and built for Piaggio & C. in order to measure the performance of Continuous Speed Variators (CVT) for speeds up to 100 Km/h. The test bench makes it possible to replicate the speed and torque conditions at the wheel axle and the conditioning (heating and cooling) of the air around the belt up to 100 °C.

PowerPack30 test benchThe PowerPack30 gearmotor test bench has been designed and built for SAMP Ingranaggi to validate the operation of extruder gearmotors and their scuffing resistance. The test bench has an electrically recirculated power architecture with closed cycle on a DC BUS with a circulating power of 400 kW.

Bearing comparisonThe activity was carried out for Continuus Properzi in order to experimentally compare several types of tapered roller bearings. A specially designed and built test bench allowed endurance tests to be carried out. Dimensional measurements and metallographic examinations were also carried out.
|
Wind turbine coupling certificationThe activity was carried out for MAINA in order to perform the functional testing and experimental characterisation of a reed joint, with fibreglass spacer, for use in the wind power sector. A specially designed and built test bench allowed static and fatigue tests to be carried out.

SAGE 2 gearbox transport boxThe activity, carried out for Avio Aero, concerned the design, procurement and assembly of a special transport box for aeronautical gearboxes, which is cushioned and also contains a preload system for gears and bearings. The transport box makes it possible to limit possible damage to bearings and gears.
