Abstract

A method of collecting test data for a gear set includes loading the gear set to a testing device having a first motor which is an input drive motor and a second motor which is an output drag motor, establishing a set-point torque value, running the drive motor at a fixed speed, measuring the output torque at the drag motor, comparing the output torque to the set-point torque, adjusting the input torque, repeating the steps of measuring the output torque at the second motor, comparing the output torque to the set-point torque, and adjusting the input torque until the output torque matches the set-point torque value, and collecting test data.
