Abstract

In traditional engine setups Belt Drive Systems (BDS) are in charge of power transmission from the crankshaft to the accessories. They are complex and critical dynamic mechanisms, involving contact mechanics and vibration phenomena. The hybridization of vehicles has increased the severity of the operating conditions of these systems that have become even more critical. The traditional alternator was substituted by a Belt-Starter Generator (BSG), an electric machine that can power the BDS in particular operating conditions to improve the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) performance or to allow regenerative braking. The aim of the present work is to describe the design and the main characteristic of a test rig conceived to investigate in laboratory environment on the behaviour of belt drive systems in dynamic conditions. Two permanent magnet electric motors are used to replicate the dynamic behavior of crankshaft and BSG in a realistic, though controlled and repaetable, manner.
