1、Designation: D5579 09aStandard Test Method forEvaluating the Thermal Stability of Manual TransmissionLubricants in a Cyclic Durability Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5579; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the ca

2、se 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 foruse in heavy duty manual transm

3、issions 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 Correlation of test results with tr

4、uck 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 method may be necessary due to

5、refinements 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 The values stated in inch-pou

6、nd units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5.1 ExceptionWhen materials, products, or equipmentare available only in inch-pound units, SI units are omitted.1.6

7、This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This test metho

17、 is shifted byair pressure applied to alternating sides of the range shiftpiston. The air pressure is provided by a pilot 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

18、test. A typical air controlsystem is shown in Fig. 6.6.7 Drive SystemIn the truck operation, opposing torqueshelp the 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,the

19、refore, are not present, and shifting can be delayed. To helpthe synchronizer shift smoothly without the opposing torque, 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 toot

20、h offset (22). Thetransmission output shaft is offset from the shaft of the motoror jack shaft, thereby placing the driveline 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 i

28、a number of safety hazards. Only personnelwho are thoroughly trained and experienced in transmissiontesting should undertake the design, installation, and operationof transmission test stands.8.3 Each laboratory conducting transmission tests shouldhave its test installation inspected and approved by

29、 its safetydepartment. Personnel working on the transmissions should beprovided with the proper tools, be alert to common sense safetypractices, and avoid contact with moving or hot transmissionparts, or both. Heavy-duty guards should be installed aroundthe driveline. When the test stand is operatin

30、g, personnelshould be cautioned against working alongside the transmis-sion and drivelines.All oil lines and electrical wiring should beproperly routed and grounded, guarded, and kept in good order.Safety masks or glasses should always be worn by personnelworking on the transmissions. Loose or flowi

31、ng clothing, longhair, or other accessories to dress that could become entangled,should not be worn near rotating equipment.8.4 The external parts of the transmission and the floor areaaround the transmission should be kept clean and free of oilspills. In addition, the working area should be free of

32、 alltripping hazards. In case of injury, no matter how slight, firstaid attention should be applied at once and the incidentreported. Personnel should be alert for leaking oil, whichrepresents a fire hazard. Containers of oil cannot be permittedto accumulate in the test area.8.5 A remote station for

33、 shutting off the motor, pump, andheater is recommended. Fixed fire-protection equipmentshould be provided.8.6 Normal precautions should be taken when using flam-mable solvents for cleaning purposes. Make sure adequateventilation is provided and fire-fighting equipment is immedi-ately accessible.8.7

34、 It is recommended that safeties be provided to shutdown the drive motor and oil heater when the followingconditions occur:8.7.1 Oil temperature in transmission sump becomes exces-sive,8.7.2 Oil temperature leaving the oil-heating chamber be-comes excessive,8.7.3 Oil-circulating system loses pressur
