Overview

When a new engine is to be tested in a test bed, it is a particular challenge to select a drive shaft with the correct properties.
It is important not only to transfer the corresponding torque, but also to take into consideration the stiffness and distribution of the inertia values.
We conduct analysis to select a drive shaft most suitable for a specific engine for a given test cell. * Additional charge applies. Please contact us for further information

Features

tShaft is a fast analysis tool which selects a drive shaft most suitable for a specific engine for a geven test cell. All current engine types can be defined with just a few parameters. Integrated estimation algorithms are available for determining unknown quantities. The analysis is achieved with a non-linear torsional vibration calculation.
