SAKOR Technologies Inc., a maker of high-performance dynamometer systems, announced that it will be exhibiting at the Automotive Testing Expo North America 2017, October 24-26, in Novi, MI. SAKOR said it will be highlighting many innovative technologies, including hybrid and electric vehicle testing and high-voltage battery testing and simulation. The company said it will also exhibit what it calls the smallest AC regenerative engine dynamometer available in the industry. SAKOR technical experts will be on hand to offer expertise and answer questions about their products.
SAKOR said it has extensive experience in electric motor and generator testing as well as engine and powertrain testing. The DynoLAB Test Cell Control System to be highlighted can perform a variety of road load profiles and simulations, and it is designed for testing to all international standards, including existing and proposed EPA, CARB, and Euro standards.
The High Voltage Battery Simulator/Testing System is suitable for customers conducting research and development, performance evaluation, and durability testing of high-voltage DC power systems. It can be used for testing high-voltage batteries as well as simulating high-voltage batteries while testing hybrid and electric vehicle drive lines and inverter systems. The High Voltage Battery Test System is fully line regenerative, resulting in a power-efficient unit, minimizing electricity usage, lowering operating costs, and providing an environmentally friendly “green” profile.
The Small Engine AC Motoring Dynamometer that will be on display features ultralow inertia properties, and the unit can convert easily between horizontal and vertical orientations, accommodating either shaft orientation. It was developed specifically to meet the needs of small engine manufacturers who must comply with engine testing procedures required by 40 CFR Part 1065 emission standards. This machine can test both steady-state and transient emissions cycles, and it allows users to avoid the issues associated with larger dynamometers, such as breaking of drive-shafts or couplings.
