9th March 2009 - Link Engineering Announces Installation of Model 3900 Automotive NVH Brake Dynamometer in Korea

Link Engineering announced that the recently commissioned 3900 NVH Brake Dynamometer, located at its facility in Korea, is now available to support your testing needs.  The Model 3900 NVH Dynamometer provides capability for the testing of corner and axle type brake fixtures. The dynamometer controls are designed to enable close correlation with existing certification test protocols, including SAE J2521, and will soon be GM TIP certified.

The Link 3900 NVH dynamometer is specifically designed for brake noise testing. The brake test chamber is separated from the dynamometer drive and support systems to isolate outside noise and vibration sources.  The double-wall enclosure specifically assists in low-frequency noise testing and environmental testing, allowing for precise control of temperature and humidity. The walk-in construction will accommodate full vehicle corner sections and axle fixtures as well as conventional fixtures. The system incorporates state-of-the-art technology for optimal correlation to actual operating conditions.

The NVH module is based on the Bruel & Kjaer System. The Bruel & Kjaer PULSE™ software runs under the ProLink™ software package to maximize the ease of use while providing a full set of noise and vibration analysis capabilities.

With this most recent installation, Link proudly operates 18 NVH dynamometers, along with over 30 performance dynamometers, offering testing services to meet customer needs around the world.
