FARAX®-Planetary Gearbox

Custom Gearbox Test Rig for System-Level Gear and Lubricant Evaluation

The FARAX®-Planetary Gearbox is a fully integrated test system designed to evaluate complete, real-world gearboxes under controlled conditions. With a built-in, customer-specific test gearbox, this configuration is ideal for testing the performance, wear behavior, and lubricant interaction of complex systems – from automotive transmissions to e-mobility drivetrains.

Applications and Test Types

FARAX®-Planetary Gearbox enables:

  • System-level testing of custom or production gearboxes

  • Full-load simulations under real torque and speed profiles

  • Validation of gear materials, coatings and surface treatments

  • Fatigue, friction, and wear performance studies

  • Lubricant development and efficiency testing in assembled units

Use cases:
Ideal for OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and R&D centers requiring full-assembly testing with specific gear configurations.
