TOK DOCKING SYSTEM
Adaptive System for Engine Testing.
Ziel des Systems ist es, bei Prüfung von Verbrennungsmotoren den Prüflingswechsel weitgehend zu automatisieren. The time available for testing is thus maximised. This is made possible by a docking system which is based on the principle of modular construction.
Advantages
Standard types
Designed to Customer
- Couplings individually developed according to customer requirements
- Effective and efficient customer solutions through largely modular components

- Global availability
- For standard products as well as for production in small batch sizes.
Type D2C “Your design”
The guiding principle of Designed to Customer is the recipe for success behind REICH. In addition to the catalogue products, we supply our customers with couplings developed to their specific requirements. The designs are mainly based on modular components to provide effective and efficient customer solutions. The special nature of our close cooperation with our partners ranges from; consulting, development, design, manufacture and integration to existing environments, to customer-specific production, logistics concepts and after-sales service - worldwide. This customer-oriented concept applies to both standard products and production in small batch sizes.
Tailor-made couplings
REICH, we have decades of experience for special challenges in test bench technology. Coupling systems developed by REICH are used in:
combustion engines
racing engine test benches
electric motors
gearboxes
roller dynamometer test benches

More productivity, shorter set-up times, lower operating costs – the new REICH docking system will increase the efficiency of engine test benches.
Ziel des Systems ist es, bei Prüfung von Verbrennungsmotoren den Prüflingswechsel weitgehend zu automatisieren. The time available for testing is thus maximised. This is made possible by a docking system which is based on the principle of modular construction. It is used to connect combustion engines of different sizes to a dynamometer. This way, engine testing is made easy.
Flexible docking and centering fixture
The special feature of the docking system is its self-docking and self-centering fixture. It consists of a pin and a sleeve which are both straight-toothed. The two components are available in a standard size and mounted to a coupling matching the engine to be tested.
Rigging additional engines while testing
This fixture allows for preparing other engines to be tested while one engine is still undergoing testing. Rigging only involves the mounting of the matching coupling with the standard pins to the engine. Given that this work is performed outside the test bench area, rigging times are minimised in the test cell.
Self-alignment and self-centering
The smart design of the centering attachments allows them to compensate for an offset of up to 15 mm while docking. While the engine with the mounted TOK coupling and toothed pins is slowly approaching its destination, the CV-jointed sleeve on the dynamometer side rests on a support.
While docking, the sleeve is lifted off the centering attachment and turned until the toothed components engage.
TOK coupling system:
REICH offers the right coupling shafts and highly torsionally flexible couplings tailored to various combustion engines.
With rotational speeds of up to 10 000 min-1 and equipped with a high torsional flexibility and torque transmission capacity from 100 Nm to 70 000 Nm, they are perfectly suited for demanding test bench applications. Detailed catalogues and documents are available.
The technical data applies only to the complete coupling or the corresponding coupling elements. It is the customer’s/user’s responsibility to ensure there are no inadmissible loads acting on any of the components. In particular, existing connections, e.g. bolted connections, must be checked with regard to the torques to be transmitted. If necessary, further measures, such as additional reinforcement with pins, may be necessary It is the customer’s/ user’s responsibility to make sure the dimensioning of the shaft and keyed or other connection, e.g. shrinking or clamping connection, is correct. All components that can rust are protected against corrosion as standard.
REICH have an extensive range of couplings and coupling systems to cover nearly every drive configuration. Customized solutions can be developed and manufactured even in small batches or as prototypes. In addition calculation programs are available for all necessary dimensioning.
