⚙️ “iPK in action” ⚙️ – our new series of articles showcasing application examples of our iPK precision coupling with integrated sensors.
Today's focus: the test benches of NEXT Automotive Testing GmbH
R+W Antriebselemente equips NEXT's test benches with iPK precision couplings incorporating sensors, which combine a high level of precision with intelligent data acquisition.
In test benches, couplings do more than just transmit power: they ensure proper operation, protect expensive components and guarantee accurate measurement results, even at high speeds and under dynamic loads.
By integrating sensor technology directly into the coupling, R+W brings metrology to the heart of the drivetrain: torque, speed, and temperature are measured wirelessly and transmitted in near real-time. This enables the design of more efficient testing processes, immediate visualization of measured values, and continuous documentation of quality data.
The combination of precision and ease of use makes R+W's iPK couplings the ideal solution for modern test bench applications – customizable, easy to install and future-proof.
