ERNST

Back-to-Back test bed

Back-to-back (B2B) setups provide a good introduction to testing electric motors. The electric motor to be tested (DUT = device under test) is usually coupled with an identical machine and run against each other.

One machine is in torque control mode, while the opposite DUT is in speed control.

The mechanical system has a high stiffness, which excludes natural frequencies within the speed range and guarantees low-vibration operation.

Both the mechanical structure and the shaft connection are manufactured in-house, which provides maximum flexibility for the customer.

Properties

  • Base structures with 1st natural frequency above the speed range
  • Damping elements for vibration decoupling
  • Alignment via load elements and grinding plates
  • Functional surfaces for retrofitting of bearing points and sensors
  • Mounting fits / bolts for mounting of DUTs
  • Customer-specific adaptations possible
  • In-house production and assembly at ERNST
