Vibration test stand DTS

computer-controlledbrakefor materials

Damping test bench (DTS) for determining the natural frequencies and damping values as a function of temperature. During the development and production of brake systems for the reduction of brake squealing damping materials so called shims are applied on the brake pads. For the comparison of damping characteristic of different shims test plates are measured following company internal specifications. In the most cases the results show the map of the modal damping over the frequency and temperature. MAUL-THEET offers a system that does this time consuming measurements automatically and delivers in an effective way repeatable results. Advantages & Innovation Shim – test according to SAE J3001 Automated test system for determining natural frequencies and damping Cost and time savings due to low personnel costs Temperature range -60°C to +200°C (-76°F to 392°F) Continuous, non-contact temperature measurement Temperature-triggered excitation by automatic modal hammer Vibration measurement with Laser Doppler Vibrometer or accelerometer Frequency range up to 100 kHz Frequency resolution < 1Hz at 20 kHz Damping map over frequency and temperature Different damping estimators (half power bandwidth, x-dB, SDOF) Result database including metadata Applications & Integrations Brake Parts (pads, discs, calipers etc.) Material testing Quality control Sampling inspection Research and Development Product testing Optimization of simulation models
