Servo motor driven ballscrew key to car seat test system

摘要

A linear motion solution that combines a brushless servo motor with ballscrew is allowing greater flexibility in automotive test laboratories. A three-channel electro-mechanical test system has been developed to simulate loads on the seatback and benches of vehicles. The system has been installed at a car seat manufacturer that manufactures complete seating systems and interior components for automotive and transport companies. The test system is based on the Moog electric linear actuation solution that incorporates Moog's innovative brushless servomotor and ballscrew technology, a state-of-the-art servo drive and user-friendly commissioning software that is easy to setup, maintain and move around in the test lab, while saving energy and providing clean operation. This is especially important when testing is performed inside a car. In addition to seats and benches, other applications can be tested with this solution such as car doors and panels, car accessories, assemblies, gear levers, pedals, and seat belts.
