The MT 172 tester unit must be viewed in conjunction with the assembly practice units MT 170 (shaft with journal bearings) and MT 110.02 (combination gear units). The assembled element system - journal bearing or gear unit - is mounted on the MT 172 test bed. Here, the complete system is properly assembled, with particular regard to the alignment of the system components. A successfully completed assembly project can then be examined in operation with a formal final test. Parameters examined during test procedure are; running noise, heat generation, vibration or leakage.
MT 172 includes a single-phase asynchronous motor drive, a magnetic particle brake with adjustable braking torque, and a rigid machine bed with T-slots on which the motor and the drive element under test are mounted. The T-slots allow the installed length to be varied, and therefore can be easily adapted to the drive element. Two couplings connect the element system to the motor and the brake. The students must align the connections between the motor and the element system, and between the element system and the brake. The controls are on the switch box. The braking torque is set here using a potentiometer. The exciter current of the magnetic particle brake serves as a measure of the braking torque, and is displayed in digital form. Removable guards protect the couplings. |

Learning Objectives / Experiments |
In conjunction with MT 170 and MT 110.02:
- Assembling and aligning drive systems
- Planning and execution of final testing:
+ on a spur wheel/worm gear mechanism (MT 110.02)
+ on a journal bearing-supported shaft (MT 170)
- Familiarisation with mechanical and electrical drive elements and their functions
In conjunction with combination gear unit MT 110.02:
- Checking gear functionality after assembly using a load test
- Running of the gear under variable load:
assessment of running noise
checking for heat build-up
checking for leaks
