High-speed Motor Test Bench Basics

Key Features

A high-speed motor test bench has many helpful features. One big feature is reaching very high speeds. While some general benches reach 20,000–25,000 rpm, Atestman’s system can achieve 165,000 rpm or more, enabling true ultra-high-speed testing for next-generation electric drives.

It also offers:

• Digital controls & real-time monitoring with 20+ parameters (torque, efficiency, vibration, temperature, etc.).

• Self-aligning shaft coupling technology that reduces vibration.

• Improved efficiency (+60%) thanks to optimized coupling design.

• AI-based analysis and LabVIEW/MATLAB connectivity for data integration.

Tip: Always look at the speed range and modular options before picking a test bench.

Applications

High-speed motor test benches are used in many industries. For example:

With Atestman’s modular structure, you can switch between testing different motor types quickly, meeting R&D, production, and lifecycle validation needs.

Core Features

Structural Design

Atestman uses modular design architecture with both air-cooled and water-cooled options. This lets you test various power levels (4.5–32 kW) and speed ranges (30,000–75,000 rpm for standard water-cooled setups, up to 165,000 rpm for advanced models).

Common modular features include:

• Speed & torque control

• Temperature monitoring

• Limit monitoring & safety shutdown

• Sensor calibration & communication interfaces

• User-based access and open/closed-loop control

Control Systems

Atestman integrates industrial PCs with DAQ systems and TwinCAT software for strong, real-time control. You can add measurement channels, set alarms, and conduct automated analyses.

Measurement Precision

High-speed motor test benches measure:

• Voltage (up to 500V)

• Current (up to 50A DC, 40A AC)

• Torque (0.1–100 N·m with 0.5% precision)

• Speed (up to 180,000 rpm)

These results are crucial for electric vehicles and aerospace, where precision determines safety and compliance.

Connectivity

Supports Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Profinet, allowing high-frequency data collection (up to 1,000 samples/second). This enables remote monitoring and integration with smart factories.

Safety

Atestman prioritizes safety with:

• Emergency stop buttons & burst protection shafts

• Compliance with IEC 61010 safety standards

• Climate chamber options for controlled testing environments

Reliability and ROI

• Lower failure rate (–70%) compared to competitors

• Extended bearing and shaft life (+300%)

• Reduced downtime and maintenance costs

• Scalable modular design, ensuring future-proof investment

This means Atestman’s solution not only ensures reliable test data but also provides better long-term cost efficiency.

Selecting the Right Test Bench

When choosing, consider:

1. Speed range & torque requirements (EVs vs. aerospace motors)

2. Cooling method (air vs. water)

3. Software integration & data analysis needs

4. Safety compliance

5. Upgrade & modularity options

Tip: Always request a demo test to confirm the bench meets your project requirements.
