Abstract
This report summarizes development of test rig for gearboxes of rail vehicles. Tested gearbox will be simultaneously dynamically loaded in two modes. First is impact load in 3 main directions that simulates shocks transferred from wheels into gearbox. The other one is standard torque load. Structure for impact load is hexapod compounded of 6 hydraulic cylinders connected to a frame that holds tested gearbox. Part of development was also design of frames for electric motors.
