The location and size of this hole are shown in Fig. 5.6.6 Air Pressure ControlsThe transmission is shifted by air pressure applied to alternating sides of the range shift piston. Theair pressure is provided by

27、a pilot valve, which is cycled by a solenoid valve at a rate of 5 cpm. These cycles are recorded by acounter, which provides the cycles to mis-shift data for the pass/fail criteria of the test. A typical air control system is shown inFig. 6.6.7 Drive SystemIn the truck operation, opposing torques he

The transmission output shaft is offset from the shaft of the motor or jack shaft,thereby placing the driveline

The user of this test method is responsible for establishing appropriate safety andhealth practices.8.2 The operati

41、ng of transmission tests can expose personnel and facilities to a number of safety hazards. Only personnel whoare thoroughly trained and experienced in transmission testing should undertake the design, installation, and operation oftransmission test stands.8.3 Each laboratory conducting transmission

42、 tests should have its test installation inspected and approved by its safetydepartment. Personnel working on the transmissions should be provided with the proper tools, be alert to common sense safetypractices, and avoid contact with moving or hot transmission parts, or both. Heavy-duty guards shou

43、ld be installed around thedriveline. When the test stand is operating, personnel should be cautioned against working alongside the transmission anddrivelines. All oil lines and electrical wiring should be properly routed and grounded, guarded, and kept in good order. Safetymasks or glasses should al

44、ways be worn by personnel working on the transmissions. Loose or flowing clothing, long hair, or otheraccessories to dress that could become entangled, should not be worn near rotating equipment.8.4 The external parts of the transmission and the floor area around the transmission should be kept clea

45、n and free of oil spills.In addition, the working area should be free of all tripping hazards. In case of injury, no matter how slight, first aid attention shouldbe applied at once and the incident reported. Personnel should be alert for leaking oil, which represents a fire hazard. Containersof oil

46、cannot be permitted to accumulate in the test area.8.5 A remote station for shutting off the motor, pump, and heater is recommended. Fixed fire-protection equipment should beprovided.8.6 Normal precautions should be taken when using flammable solvents for cleaning purposes. Make sure adequate ventil
