Mechanical Water Pump Testing

Mechanical Water Pump Test System

Efficient and effective cooling is a mandatory requirement for any automotive, aerospace, defense, and off-highway applications. The testing of mechanical water pumps must validate they can reliably provide high flows to meet the cooling demand across a wide temperature range, with varying belt tension loads.

Ensure mWP™ is a purpose-built test system designed to characterize and benchmark new mechanical water pump prototypes and audit samples in a production environment.

Thinking about building a custom test machine?

It’s quicker with Section ID™.

A platform of pre-defined modules that allows you to put together a test system like building blocks so you are able to begin testing faster than any custom-engineered option. We call it Section ID™. Answer a few questions about your component, the parameters and the test application; now your test system is defined and ready for order.

Section ID delivers a test system 2-3 times quicker than the alternative.

CUSTOM ENGINEERING

  • Requirements-driven from the customer (you)

  • Designed from scratch

  • Built for the first time

  • Debugging and commissioning to get things right

  • ATA doesn't do this

SECTION-ID™

  • Pre-engineered modules based on current and future technical challenges

  • Application engineering to select the right modules for your requirements

  • Tailored or custom modules as necessary

  • Modules assembled quickly on our production line, then custom elements are handled by project management methodology

  • Little debugging or commissioning required

Efficient Temperature Cycling for Fluid Components
Efficient Temperature Cycling for Fluid Components

Increasing electrification of traditionally mechanically-driven components in the automotive industry has been visible in many segments of the vehicle subsystems, such as lubrication circuits and cooling circuits. Some of the components include electric oil pumps, electric water pumps, electric coolant valves, etc. As the parts evolve from purely mechanical components to a combination of mechanical and electronic hardware, the methods used to validate the components have also evolved.

Importance of Support Contracts
Importance of Support Contracts

Many people question the value of contracts but only consider support when things go wrong. In this blog post we discuss how you can save money if things go wrong, save time when help is needed and make money by increasing efficiency.

Should You Outsource Component Testing?
Should You Outsource Component Testing?

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you want to increase efficiency and capability but your testing equipment scope is compromised by a yearly budget. It can be frustrating, but there are other options and here we will discuss one of them. Let’s explore the benefits of outsourcing your component testing and whether it makes sense for you.

In-house vs Custom vs Modular Test Stands
In-house vs Custom vs Modular Test Stands

In a world where development cycles are moving faster than ever before, OEMs are simultaneously pushing some of the biggest engineering initiatives automotive has ever seen. This is why having the right testing solution is so important. The first question arises: whether or not to build internally, custom engineer or order a turn-key test system.
