Summary of Test Method4.1 Prior to each test run, the transmission is disassembledand all parts, including the case and the oil-circulating andheating systems, are thoroughly cleaned. The transmission isrebuilt with a new synchronizer assembly, including measuredshifter fork, fr
15、iction, and reaction disks. All other worn ordefective parts are replaced.4.2 The rebuilt transmission is installed on a test stand.4.3 The transmission and oil system are flushed with the testoil in accordance with the flush procedure.4.4 The flush oil is drained, and the test oil is measured andch
16、arged to the transmission.4.5 The transmission is started and operated in low rangeuntil the oil temperature reaches the test operating range.4.6 The transmission is automatically cycled between lowand high range until two unsynchronized shifts occur or thedesired length of test is reached without f
17、ailure. The timerequired to shift from high range to low range is recorded eachhour.4.7 At the conclusion of the test, the test parts are removedand visually inspected. The shifter fork and friction plates aremeasured again to determine wear.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to eva
18、luate automotive manualtransmission fluids for thermal instability, which results indeterioration of synchronizer performance.5.2 This test method may also be utilized in other specifi-cations and classifications of transmission and gear lubricantssuch as the following:5.2.1 (final API designation o
19、f PG-1),5.2.2 Military Specification MIL-L-2105,5.2.3 SAE Information Report J308 Axle and ManualTransmission Lubricants, and5.2.4 Mack Truck GO-H Gear Lubricant Specification.6. Apparatus6.1 Table 1 is a list of the make and model of recommendedinstruments and equipment.6.2 Test TransmissionThe tes
20、t transmission is a MACKT2180, configuration 11KBA51431 (see Fig. 1). Some parts inthe transmission are to be removed and some are to be addedbefore testing, as listed in Table 2. The main box shift railcover can be replaced with an aluminum plate to facilitatetransmission cleaning at end of test.6.
21、3 Transmission MountsThe transmission is mounted asshown in Fig. 2.6.4 Oil-Circulating SystemThe system heats the oil to thespecified operating temperature of 250 6 5F (121 C 62.7 C) and maintains this temperature throughout the durationof the test. The power density of the heater is not high enough
22、to cause degradation of the oil (22 to 25 W/in.2(3.4 W/cm2to3.9 W/cm2). The oil flow rate is between 6 and 10 gal/min(23 L/min to 38 L/min). A layout of the oil-circulation systemis shown in Fig. 3. A detailed drawing of the recommended oilheating chamber is shown in Fig. 4. The total oil capacity o
23、f thetest system is 5.25 gal (19.87 L) with the oil level in thetransmission at the lower edge of the fill hole. If the systemcapacity is too small, increase by lengthening oil hoses. Whenthe system capacity is too great, decrease by shortening hoses,if it is practical to do so; otherwise, install a
24、n inert (stainlesssteel) block in the transmission main box sump to raise the oillevel. Route the oil lines so that they will empty completelywhen draining the system.4Available from Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), 400 CommonwealthDr., Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.5Available from Standardization

26、gh the heatexchanger. The location and size of this hole are shown in 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 pilot valve, which iscycled by a solenoid valve at a rate of 5 cpm.
27、 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 synchronizer to complete the shift. In the test stand,the transmi
28、ssion 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 torque, avibration in the drive line is intentionally excited. The dr
29、ivelineis 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 driveline at an angle.Alayoutshowing the offset of the transmission

31、shifting), and6.8.6 Coast down time.6.9 Thermocouple PlacementTransmission sump tem-perature is measured in the compound section of the transmis-sion with a thermocouple and conventional display equipment.Drill and tap the compound case to accept the thermocouple ata position located along the cente
32、rline of the transmission8.0 in. (203 mm) forward of the back wall of the main case.Position the tip of the thermocouple to extend 1.5 in. (38 mm)into the sump. As a means of ensuring that the oil is notexposed to excessive heat in the heater, place an additionalthermocouple to measure the oil tempe

35、res and equip-ment that may assist in reducing safety hazards. No attempt hasbeen made to address all possible safety problems. The user ofthis test method is responsible for establishing appropriatesafety and health practices.8.2 The operating of transmission tests can expose person-nel and facilit
36、ies to 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 appr
37、oved by 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 o
38、perating, 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 o
39、r flowing 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
40、free of alltripping hazards.
