Auxiliary Services for Dynamometric Testing on Braking Systems

The established experience of the TecSA R&D team is the result of years of research, development, and collaboration with leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

This expertise enables us to offer complete and customized support for the definition, setup, and execution of tests on braking systems using high-performance dynamometric test benches.

TecSA R&D’s goal is to support the Client throughout all phases of the testing process, providing not only a first-rate technological infrastructure but also the necessary methodological and operational consultancy to obtain reliable, repeatable, and meaningful results from an engineering standpoint.

Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach of its technicians and engineers, TecSA can integrate expertise in mechanics, electronics, software, and data analysis, developing tailored solutions for every type of test or experimental requirement.

The auxiliary services include:

• Support in defining the test cycle and selecting the reference vehicle
  TecSA R&D assists the Client in the preliminary test design phase, helping to identify key parameters, the most representative braking profiles, and the operational conditions to be replicated on the test bench. This activity ensures a direct correlation between laboratory results and the real-world behavior of the braking system on the road.
• Complete management of test components and materials
  The laboratory handles the procurement of the braking system components required for test execution – such as discs, calipers, pads, sensors, and hydraulic modules – ensuring they meet the required technical specifications and are correctly traceable.
• Design and manufacturing of dedicated equipment
  Depending on the type of vehicle or system to be tested, TecSA R&D designs and manufactures custom mounting solutions, including flanges, adapters, hubs, spindles, and other mechanical interfaces. All equipment is manufactured in-house or in collaboration with qualified partners, guaranteeing dimensional precision, robustness, and compatibility with the test benches.
• Development of new test procedures and dedicated systems
  When Client needs or the innovative nature of the project require it, TecSA R&D is capable of designing new test protocols and developing auxiliary systems to be integrated with the dynamometric test bench, such as control modules, simulation systems, or additional data acquisition devices. This flexibility allows the test bench to be adapted to every application scenario, even non-standard ones.
• Advanced test data acquisition and management
  Through high-precision measurement systems and proprietary acquisition software, TecSA R&D can generate detailed and fully customized reports, integrating supplementary measurement channels (temperature, torque, pressure, vibrations, noise, etc.) for a more comprehensive analysis of the braking system’s behavior during the different test phases.
• Technical analysis of results and data interpretation
  TecSA’s support is not limited to the experimental phase. The company’s technicians assist the Client in data processing, comparison between different tests, and evaluation of the performance obtained, providing an engineering analysis service that helps identify trends, critical issues, or potential areas for improvement of the braking system.
• Interlaboratory comparison and validation
  Thanks to its experience and the precision of its instruments, TecSA R&D is able to perform direct comparisons between the results from multiple laboratories. This activity is essential for verifying data consistency, certifying the quality of the tests performed, and guaranteeing the validity of the results even in audit or homologation contexts.

Each service is designed with a precise goal: to transform testing activities into a true development tool.

TecSA R&D’s ability to integrate technologies, know-how, and analytical tools provides its Clients with tangible added value, which translates into greater result accuracy, reduced development times, and increased final product quality.

With this technical and methodological approach, TecSA R&D confirms itself as a strategic partner for manufacturers, suppliers, and research centers wishing to take their testing activities to a higher level of precision, reliability, and innovation.
