Transaxle PAU shown with air-actuated vertical lift and horizontal slide
Power absorption unit supports quiet, rapid test sequences. The SF-66K power absorption units (PAUs) apply load to the output shaft(s) of the transmission to simulate road conditions such as hills, air resistance and towed weight. The standard air-cooled eddy-current PAU is virtually maintenance-free and extremely reliable. Unlike hydrostatic load units, there's no oil, water or filter to maintain, and just one moving part. The PAU allows you to perform true full-throttle, load-induced downshifts. It can load test transmissions all the way to first gear and maintain them, even when the drive system is set at full throttle. The trunnion-mounted eddy current absorber dynamically measures the output torque of the transmission.
It's also equipped with an air-actuated brake rotor and caliper to test stall force. All PAU configurations can be adjusted vertically and side-to-side to accept a wide range of test transmissions.
Inline PAU slides in-line and adjusts vertically to accomodate different transmission testing configurations.
