ATA Inc. was awarded a project from an existing client to build test systems for production verification testing on six different engine oil pump models. We delivered on the client's needs for an accurate and interchangeable tool to verify pump performance and functionality using a grouping layout for the individual test cells, and by employing laser marking stations.

Pumping and system pulsations are an important factor in the suitability and reliability of a design. Finite element modelling can predict the natural waves and forced waves based on the expected pump harmonics, geometries and speeds. However, modelling can only go so far, and oftentimes a measurement setup is required, such as ENSURE, for physical validation of the key assumptions.

Read MoreTorsional vibration has been known to fail the gear rotor of oil pumps. Typically, the failure occurs during testing on an engine dynamometer at the OEM’s facility. A failure at this point is not only very expensive and time consuming, but it also doesn’t look good for the reputation of the oil pump supplier.
