MOTOR TESTING & PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Test electric motors in-house.
An in-house electric motor test bench records the condition and test history of your motors and fans. After training, your staff carry out standardised motor tests. Repeated measurements support decisions about continued operation, maintenance or repair.
01
Test withyour own staff
Clearly guided software supports your trained staff through fully automatic tests or guided manual steps. An expert mode provides access to additional settings.
02
Spot damageearlier
Depending on the configuration, AI analyses electrical and mechanical measurements. The health monitor highlights anomalies and supports predictions of potential failures before they cause unplanned downtime.
03
A health monitorfor every motor
Measurements, condition assessments and test history are brought together for each motor. Repeat tests reveal changes and help plan continued operation, maintenance or repair.
04
Use test datain your business
Digital test reports document the results. An agreed data interface allows test data to be transferred to your ERP system and used across your business.
ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL TESTING
Electric motor testing in detail.
The motor test bench records electrical and mechanical measurements in a guided routine, including insulation resistance and running behaviour. Test programmes, limits and load tests are configured for your motors and the agreed equipment.
01
Insulation resistance
Measure insulation resistance and assess the motor’s electrical insulation. Repeat measurements help identify changes at an early stage.
02
High-voltage testing
Assess electrical dielectric strength with a high-voltage test. Test voltage and procedure are matched to the motor and the test specification.
03
Winding resistance
Measure winding resistance and compare phases on three-phase motors. Differences may indicate connection problems or changes in the windings.
04
Speed measurement
Record rotational speed during the test and compare it with the requirements for the motor type.
05
Temperature measurement
Assess temperature and heating behaviour. Unusual readings may indicate increased friction or developing bearing damage.
06
Vibration measurement
Evaluate vibration under the applicable part of ISO 20816. Measurements help identify imbalance and signs of abnormal bearing condition.
07
Current, voltage and power
Record phase currents I1, I2 and I3, including current imbalance, as well as voltage and power under no-load and load conditions.
08
Coast-down time
Measure the time from switching off to standstill. Comparing results under the same test conditions can reveal changes in mechanical running behaviour.
TEST BENCH AS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM
Five building blocks for a consistent test process.
The fixture, connections, measurement equipment and software work together. Select an area to see how the test bench supports motor testing and condition assessment.
01 · MECHANICAL FIXTURE
Tailored fixtures. straightforward mounting.
We develop a suitable mechanical interface for each intended electric motor and fan. Individual fixtures and adapters make the unit easy to mount and position consistently for repeat testing.
02 · ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Three-phase ac, single-phase ac or dc.
Connections and adapters are matched to each three-phase AC, single-phase AC or DC motor and its ratings. This allows the intended motors and fans to be connected reliably and tested within the designed operating range.
03 · MEASUREMENT & TEST SYSTEM
Electrical and mechanical testing.
A high-quality, insulated test chamber allows electrical testing, mechanical testing and vibration measurements in one coordinated system. Measurement and test equipment are configured for the motors, test tasks and agreed specification.
04 · TEST PROFILES & LIMITS
Agreed with the motor manufacturer.
We define test profiles and limits together with the motor manufacturer. This provides a basis for reliable, repeatable tests and sound condition assessments. Depending on the configuration, these can support assessments of remaining service life and potential failures.
05 · HEALTH MONITOR & SOFTWARE
Easy to use. insight into future motor condition.
Modern, clearly guided software is easy to operate after training, including for staff without in-depth testing expertise. An expert mode offers additional parameters and settings. Depending on the test bench configuration, AI analyses measurement data and the health monitor presents motor condition and predictions of potential failures.
NIKLAS MOTOR BENCH TEST SOFTWARE
Keep motor condition in view.
NIKLAS Motor Bench software guides staff through motor testing and records measurements and test history. Depending on the configuration, AI supports condition assessment and the identification of potential failures.
Example of the test bench software, shown in German. Functions depend on the configuration.
GUIDED TESTING AND MEASUREMENT ANALYSIS.
Easy to operate. more insight.
Clear routines for operators and additional settings for specialists: the software combines simple everyday operation with targeted analysis tools.
GUIDED TESTING
Clear steps and stored test profiles support fully and semi-automatic routines, including for staff without in-depth testing expertise.
EXPERT MODE
Additional parameters and settings for experienced users, tailored to the motor and the testing task.
AI-ASSISTED HEALTH MONITOR
Depending on the configuration, AI analyses measurement parameters, assesses motor condition and supports predictions of potential failures.
Available functions, prediction capabilities and parameters depend on the agreed test bench configuration.
