Mustang Dynamometer Attends Automechanika in Mexico City
Twinsburg, Ohio, August 10, 2022: Mustang Dynamometer, an American manufacturer of quality, industry-leading, testing equipment, dynamometers and related products, recently delivered a heavy-duty transmission dynamometer for testing of large truck transmissions for Edelbrock, an American manufacturer of specialty automotive, truck, and motorcycle parts, at their Cerritos, California R&D facility. The state-of-the-art test cell was designed by Mustang to efficiently accommodate the need to test repaired and refurbished transmissions by way of CAN communication, while meeting all required codes for mechanical and electrical hook-ups as established by state and local regulations.
The difference in this transmission dynamometer is the use of CAN communication. ‘Controller Area Network’ or ‘CAN’ is an electronic communication bus, developed in Germany in 1986 and defined by the ISO 11898 standards. Those standards define how communication happens within the transmission, signaling when and how the transmission shifts. Collectively, this system is referred to as a CAN bus. The system can perform a multitude of tests via CAN, including:
• Check shift points (automatic transmissions)
• Full throttle upshift test
• Downshift inhibitor test
• Check for abnormal noise and vibration
• Check transmission control system
• Closed throttle downshift test
• Leak check shaft seals and clutches
• Check main, clutch, and converter pressures
• Determine mechanical binding
“As a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and integration of transmission dynamometers, Mustang’s advancement with CAN communication systems is available for testing all the world’s largest OEM transmissions. Mustang has delivered and continues to support transmission testing systems in virtually every corner of the globe.” said David Ganzhorn, V.P. Sales.
