SAKOR Technologies Provides Upgraded Electric Cam Phaser Durability Test Stand for Major International Provider of Drivetrain Components

Powerful test stand adds motor control and communication versatility

SAKOR Technologies Inc., a recognized leader in the area of high-performance dynamometer systems, announces that it recently upgraded an existing electric variable cam timing (eVCT) durability test system for a major international provider of powertrain components. Custom designed for use with cam phasers driven by an electric motor, the powerful and versatile test stand will be used for running long term durability tests on new electric cam phaser designs. SAKOR's industry-leading DynoLABâ„¢ data acquisition and control system will replace the existing controller for test cell and other subsystems control and data acquisition.


SAKOR upgraded the existing eVCT durability test system by adding torque transducers and additional data acquisition channels, as well as enhancing the mechanical driveline topology. The final system also adds enhanced motor control and communications network versatility.

The new DynoLAB data acquisition and control system offers complete automation of all types of test cycles used in performance, durability, and quality control testing. It provides reliable fully automated test procedures for all customer testing protocols. The system enables the customer to create their own tests and testing protocols and make changes without requiring assistance.

"With this upgraded system our customer has significantly added to their testing capabilities" said Randal Beattie, president of SAKOR. "They are now able to perform durability testing on a much broader array of their products, and over a much wider range of conditions, all in a clean laboratory environment.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
