Abstract:
Failure of the hydraulic components while they are being operated can be very hazardous
given their wide range of applications in many industries. To ensure them to be in proper
working condition, (be it hydraulic pumps, valves, or motors) which is not only necessary for
the sake of avoiding any financial damage but also to avoid any kind of potential human
injuries or even human loss before it happens, test benches are used to check the operational
capability and working condition of hydraulic components.
A comprehensive feasibility study for the bench (including the required components) was done
along with the development of a new design of test bench based on the design of simulator for
testing of vehicle engine environment (placed in ICE) which included the starter alternator and
included variable frequency drive setup. The whole idea of the feasibility and design is to
develop such a comprehensive model which would not only be a viable solution for testing of
hydraulic components but also provide an easy to operate conditions with maximum output
and accuracy.
Furthermore, a universal linking mechanism was designed and developed to account for
different shaft sizes at one end and would eliminate any impact caused by any misalignment
overall. It will not only help in providing a compact design that will address our issue but also
will save us is costs as far the amount of material that is used is concerned. Hence, being
economical and one-for-all kind of solution.
