FARAX®-KLP260

Multi-Disk-Clutch-Brake Test Rig

The FARAX®-KLP260 is a standardized test rig developed for testing wet multi-disc clutches under realistic conditions. Designed with heavy-duty synchronizers and industrial-grade transmission systems in mind, it enables detailed evaluation of friction behavior, endurance, wear, and thermal characteristics. Through direct torque measurement and flexible control parameters, the rig supports both R&D and quality assurance use cases.

Applications
& Test Focus

  • Friction behavior under varying loads and speeds

  • Wear and endurance validation

  • Static friction and micro-slip investigations

  • Drag torque measurement (open clutch)

  • Lubrication performance and temperature sensitivity

  • Overloading and failure behavior

  • Friction lining comparison

  • Synchronizer clutch testing (Heavy-Duty)
