Got a Transmission dyno for the shop

cool

Pretty neat.
Will you be able to tell how much hp a transmission uses or how efficient it is? I’m curious how much hp a 46 RH/RE uses compared to a regular 727 or comparable autos

Good deal, not many of those around

Dyno or test stand ?

x2 ….it say dyno

Good luck with the new tool!Have you made a data collection sheet?I am sure the list will get longer over time.

I know what it said - looks like just a test stand/run-in stand - the same ones we use in the Reman trans programs.

Would the unit shift on its own if it was attached to the load device?

Test stand / dyno. Call it what u want.

In the industry it's not called a test stand. But that's what it does. Tests the transmission operation. Its known as a trans dyno.

call it a trans dyno.

My car says Dodge but I call it a Mopar.

Jasper, Certified, all the large Reman shops use a test stand to spin test the trans. They look similar to this one.

If a simple hydraulic unit (727 with governor for example) it would shift on its own.

Manual shift units need to be manually shifted. Electronic units need the electronics to perform the shifts.

I’m not minimizing Copes stand, just asking a question.

A trans dyno controls input torque and measures output losses - very exoensive units that only the OE’s normally have. Not normally needed for shops building transmissions.

If driven with an electric motor with a torque transducer on the output then it could measure losses, etc., maybe that’s what Cope has ?

👍

Good for you, it always feels good to add some useful equipment!

From the Axiline Website link you provided :

SuperFlow's Axiline and Hicklin transmission test stands cover the complete range of light-duty, medium-duty, heavy-duty and cross drive transmissions on the market today. With solutions for everything from passenger cars to the M1 tank and features like mechatronic shift controls, no-hassle precision aligment tooling and the available WinDyn Data Acquisition and Control system for fully automated tests and reports, SuperFlow transmission dynos are the only choice of the top transmission remanufacturers world wide. Check out or custom testing solutions page for examples of custom transmission test stands we've built for heavy duty cross drive dynos and full AC regenrative test stands.

All 5 reman transmission remanufacturers i have dealt with over the last 25 years call them either test stands, or for the newer units with electric motors running the input an ETM's - Electric Test Machine.

Buddy of mine who builds transmissions built one some years ago using a BB Cheby and a brake affair on the output to load it. Said it's turned out to be invaluable for any number of reasons. I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion.

Very cool, John. I'm sure many customers will appreciate having their transmissions tested before receiving ,especially those not local to you. Will that be a standard service or an option?

FINE its a test stand

No problems John, was wondering if it was a dyno, per my original post/question as I have a need for someone that can test some things to reduce parasitic loss internal to the trans.

I’ll Have to do it the hard way, in a car.

When PTC does my tranny I get a card with test stand results. Nice to know it works before I put it in the car and take it out.

IMO a good thing.

Nice to know you have this unit. Gives a new customer confidence, should boost business.

Very nice tool. Takes a little longer to get the product done and shipped, but dramatically cuts down on customer problems. Nice to be certain, that when you perform a service for someone, that they will be happy with it.
