Welcome to this episode, "Avoid Catastrophic Failure in Your Dynamometer Test Cell," where Mike Golda and Chris Middlemass discuss why the maintenance of your dynamometer test cell is critical. Be sure to check out our video version of this podcast with supporting images: video.
They highlight three main types of maintenance: reactive (waiting for failure), preventive (scheduled maintenance), and predictive (using sensors to predict issues). Reactive maintenance is deemed costly and risky, while preventive and predictive approaches are considered more planned and cost-effective.
The discussion covers various aspects of maintenance, including monitoring vibration, temperatures, and running conditions, and stresses the importance of consulting the OEM for proper maintenance guidelines. Mike and Chris will touch on the types of components that need maintenance, such as bearings, filters, seals, rubber components, and control valves, and the advantages of using Authorized Service Centers. Additionally, they briefly discuss maintenance for intermittent use of dynamometers and caution against neglecting maintenance due to potential safety risks and costly repairs.
