Recently, TecSA completed a new installation of the TC225 dynamometer bench in China, at one of the leading players in the Asian and global braking system industry. This is a world-class benchmark company, driving the development of innovative technologies for the future of mobility.
This collaboration demonstrates how TecSA is not just a supplier of testing machines but a long-term technology partner, capable of supporting industry leaders in their ongoing pursuit of performance, reliability, and innovation.
What is TecSA’s TC225
The TC225 is the flagship test bench of TecSA’s range. It is a state-of-the-art machine, designed to meet the most advanced needs of vehicle manufacturers and braking system producers worldwide.
The bench allows real-world conditions to be replicated in the laboratory, providing precise and reliable data for brake development and validation.
Its versatility allows testing across a very wide range of applications: from production motorcycles to ultra-high-performance cars, from hybrid and electric vehicles to racing cars characterized by high speeds, extreme acceleration and deceleration, and heavy mass.
Application areas
The TC225 is designed to support numerous types of tests, including:
- Performance testing of brakes under extreme load and speed conditions;
- NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) tests, essential for analyzing noise and vibrations;
- Research on regenerative braking, now crucial in the development of electric and hybrid vehicles;
- Verification of EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) systems;
- WLTP cycles, essential for ensuring compliance with international homologation protocols;
- Analysis of brake dust emissions, in line with the growing focus on sustainability and environmental impact;
- Residual torque measurement, to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.
Benefits for manufacturers
Thanks to these features, the TC225 dynamometer bench offers manufacturers a unique platform for development, research, and validation of braking systems. Key benefits include:
- Higher data reliability thanks to ultra-precise measuring instruments;
- Reduced vehicle development times through the possibility of simulating real-world conditions in the lab;
- Increased safety, testing brakes even in extreme scenarios that are hard to reproduce on the road;
- Support for the energy transition, with tests focused on regenerative systems and new electric vehicle architectures.
