FARAX®-Gear-MU

Mechanical Gear Fatigue and Lubricant Test Rig

FARAX®-Gear-MU

Mechanical Gear Fatigue and Lubricant Test Rig

The FARAX®-Gear-MU is a versatile back-to-back gear testing rig designed for mechanical loading using dead weights or a ratchet system. Engineered to deliver repeatable, standards-compliant results, it’s ideal for evaluating gear durability and lubricant performance under defined loading conditions. The system integrates robust torque measurement, precision oil temperature control, and intuitive software control in a modular, user-friendly design.

Applications and Test Types

FARAX®-Gear-MU is tailored for:

  • Fatigue performance tests on standard and custom gears
  • Lubricant performance evaluation (oils, additives, greases)

  • Friction and wear studies

  • Micro-pitting and scuffing simulations

  • Standardized gear benchmarking under mechanical load

Supported test standards:
ISO 14635, ASTM D5182, DIN 51354, CEC-L-07, FVA 243, FVA 345, and more.
