The GIANT 6000 family of brake dynamometers is a high performance test system that has the ability to test all multi-wheel, road-going vehicles, ranging from passenger vehicles SUV’s to high speed railway applications.
The GIANT 6000 family can be used to test all aspects of the brake system such as the caliper, disc/drum, brake pad and shoes including different assembly fixtures to help optimize each brake system for use in a vehicle.
Enabling different disc/drum compounds to be tested under thermal fatigue, friction compounds for emission (dust) production and caliper designs for NVH optimization. Standard Features
Machine frame resting on special vibration insulators. No seismic concrete block required
Solid state AC/DC power converter, to feed the DC-motor and power the electrical inertia simulation
Flywheel set combined with electrical inertia to simulate the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle
HORIBA designed brake actuator to operate the test brake system controlling brake pressure and torque
Advantages
State-of-the-art technology
Test brake fixture with complete wheel suspension
Semi-acoustic chamber, for noise investigations
Short delivery times
Compact design
Modular design, customer to add on additional options
Robust design to ensure low maintenance requirements
High level of simulation quality
High level of measurement accuracy
Standardized components
Microsoft Office -compatible user interface
Use of standardized evaluation software (MSExcelTM, NI DiademTM)
Applications
Thermal fatigue testing, integrity tests, friction, judder and NVH investigations
Replication of vehicle tests, one-to-one on the dynamometer
Customization of brake pressure profiles and cooling profiles
Environmental simulation (temperature, rain, dust/dirt, salt water corrosion testing)
Brake emissions testing
HORIBA offers a wide range of additional services, if special test applications are desired, HORIBA has the capabilities to accommodate these requirements
