PACCAR
PACCAR Technical Center PTO Load Simulation
This student team worked to plan, define, design, build, and test a new power takeoff load simulation device that allows for on road and mobile parasitic load testing of commercial vehicles (i.e., trucks with trailers) and is capable of applying a load of up to 95HP (71KW) 500lb-ft (678Nm) to a bottom or side mounted power take off (PTO) to better serve PACCAR Technical Center's customers. This student team took into account the following parameters: Safety, lifespan, cost, functionality, load capacity & dissipation, fluid/hydraulic system, control system, human machine interface (HMI)
