Abstract
In this paper, a test bench for study the efficiency of spur gear is presented. Based on the proposed design scheme a virtual model of the test bench is developed in SolidWorks, both for manufacture and for simulation purpose. The main principle of the test bench it is that the load is performed internally on a closed circuit composed from two sets of spur gears, for that reason it is not necessary to use a brake system. Using a HBM acquisition system and strain gauge transducers it is established the experimental variation of the torque on the shafts of the gears. In this way is established the experimental efficiency of the spur gear set. The bench is designed into a modular design, for test can be used a set of different gear pairs with same axle distance.
