1、Designation: D 5579 09An American National StandardStandard Test Method forEvaluating the Thermal Stability of Manual TransmissionLubricants in a Cyclic Durability Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5579; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofo

2、riginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the thermal stability of fluids foru

3、se in heavy duty manual transmissions when operated at hightemperatures.1.2 The lubricant performance is measured by the numberof shifting cycles that can be performed without failure ofsynchronization when the transmission is operated while con-tinuously cycling between high and low range.1.3 Corre

4、lation of test results with truck transmission ser-vice has not been established. However, the procedure has beenshown to appropriately separate two transmission lubricants,which have shown satisfactory and unsatisfactory field perfor-mance in the trucks of one manufacturer.1.4 Changes in this test

5、method may be necessary due torefinements in the procedure, obsolescence of parts, or re-agents, and so forth. These changes will be incorporated byInformation Letters issued by the ASTM Test MonitoringCenter (TMC).2The test method will be revised to show thecontent of all the letters, as issued.1.5

Route the oil lines so that they will empty completelywhen draining the system.6.5 Oil Return HoleA hole shall be drilled and ta

14、pped inthe compound case for the oil to return after flowing throughthe heat exchanger. The location and size of this hole are shownin Fig. 5.6.6 Air Pressure ControlsThe transmission is shifted byair pressure applied to alternating sides of the range shiftpiston. The air pressure is provided by a p

15、ilot valve, which iscycled by a solenoid valve at a rate of 5 cpm. These cycles arerecorded by a counter, which provides the cycles to mis-shiftdata for the pass/fail criteria of the test. A typical air controlsystem is shown in Fig. 6.6.7 Drive SystemIn the truck operation, opposing torqueshelp the

16、 synchronizer to complete the shift. In the test stand,the transmission is driven from the rear by an electric motorand belt drive with no loading on the input pinion. The torques,therefore, are not present, and shifting can be delayed. To helpthe synchronizer shift smoothly without the opposing tor

17、que, avibration in the drive line is intentionally excited. The drivelineis set out of phase by rotating the yoke at one end of the shaftwith respect to the other by a one spline tooth offset (22). Thetransmission output shaft is offset from the shaft of the motoror jack shaft, thereby placing the d

18、riveline at an angle.Alayoutshowing the offset of the transmission relative to the jack shaftis shown in Fig. 2.6.8 InstrumentationSensors and displays, either on thetest console or in a data logging computer, are to be suppliedas follows:6.8.1 Oil sump temperature,6.8.2 Countershaft speed,6.8.3 Tai
