Test Cell Measurements with HBM

For testing prototypes, parts and components: Function tests and performance tests at test cells, test benches and in labs are an essential factor for improving products and increasing efficiency, reliability and innovation.

No matter what your industry or application, you will find the right solutions with HBM for professional tests and inspections, at the test bench and in the lab.

"The HBM products meet the metrological requirements here, whether in terms of measurement uncertainty, repeatability, synchronization of the measurements." Stéphane Londos, President GreenMot France. Read the case study

Component and Performance Test Stands

Test stands save costs by simulating under true-to-life conditions before the expensive practical tests are implemented.

Constantly improving the performance of your products secures a competitive edge and increases market share. But as you strive for more quality, convenience and reliability, you come face-to-face with cost and time pressure.

Furthermore, specialized test stands at the end of the production line when manufacturing drive trains, transmissions, powder dividers and shafts, for example, verify the correct assembly and quality of the components.

Power Test Stands

Modern test technology helps by reducing development times

It is becoming more and more important to:

  • increase mechanical output power
  • improve efficiency
  • protect energy resources and
  • reduce environmental pollution.

Which is why the demands made on test stands are constantly getting more stringent. Test stands have an important role to play in developing engines, powertrain components and brakes.

Modern test technology helps by reducing development times, despite the ever-increasing complexity of concepts and requirements. The more stringent these demands become, the more important it is to have relevant measuring equipment.

Torque transducers are usually at the heart of these test stands. Torque transducers from HBM, especially torque flanges, are impressively accurate, reliable and compact.
