„Athene“ Testrig
In the Athene test bench, oil and grease lubricated bearings can be loaded axially and radially at defined speeds in four test chambers. These variables are controlled and measured. In addition, defined electrical currents can be conducted via the rolling bearings. Thus, rolling bearings can be tested under electrical and mechanical stress.
