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.

TOK DOCKING SYSTEM

Advantages

There is no longer need for complex mechanics and manual intervention on the dynamometer side.
A correctly positioned, solid support is sufficient
Rigging with time-consuming assembly procedures takes place outside the test cell
Rotational speeds of up to 6 000 -rpm are possible
All the toothed shaft components of a system engage in any turning position while maintaining good balance
Centering attachments are available as spare parts and easily changeable
The docking system can be extended to multiple test cells

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.
