Design and development of a 25,000 RPM seal endurance test rig for a Formula One seal manufacturer. The rig consisted of 4 separate test heads, 2 high speed and 2 low speed, each driven by a high speed motor and a high speed toothed belt drive train. One or two seals up to 180mm diameter can be tested in each head, up to a temperature of 170° C and pressure of 160 bar, by a unique oil re-circulation system. All parameters for each head could be independently set and controlled via the control PC.
