CASE STUDY: Reducing Inertial Noise for Injector Testing
PROBLEM: Distorted Test Results caused by RPM Fluctuation
SOLUTION:
We needed to mimic the inertia of a diesel engine driveline in a test bench said Brian Nugent - MCM Inc., Engineering Manager. This particular application we chose a 400 lb flywheel. The flywheel was mounted to a shaft that needed to be coupled to a custom camshaft that is actuating a fuel injector. One of the challenges was the stiffness of the coupling. We have ...This story is related to the following:Mechanical Components and AssembliesInertia Measuring Instruments | Flywheels | Flywheel Couplings
