Engine & Powertrain

To qualify engine and powertrain components it is necessary make diverse tests and examinations in the development process.

Spectrum of our test centre for fatigue strength:

• Time and cost-optimised thermo-mechanical fatigue testing of cylinder heads on our unique cylinder head test benches
• Internal pressure testing of diesel and petrol fuel injector rails and their components on our high-pressure (up to 3,000 and 4,000 bar) and low-pressure (up to 350 bar) test benches
• Crankcase and crankshaft testing on the HYDRA hydraulic test facility
• Acoustic measurements in anechoic chambers
• Splash water testing of engine and exhaust gas components
• Temperature, climate and altitude chambers for testing the starting behaviour of engines and vehicles
• Testing of electric motors under the influence of dust
• Qualification of high-voltage storage systems
• Corrosion testing
• Application metrology on crankshafts, for example
• Testing of valve springs on the IABG valve spring test bench
