The Power Shuttle Transmission Test Rig ("ARJUN NOVO") is engineered to replicate the exact hydraulic and mechanical conditions encountered by PST units in modern agricultural tractors. By reproducing the full range of pressure spikes, flow rates, and temperature variations seen in the field, the system verifies clutch engagement smoothness, response speed, and leakage performance — all within a controlled laboratory environment.

This not only accelerates end-of-line quality assurance but also uncovers subtle wear-related issues before they can impact tractor operation. Advanced routines also vary oil temperature via an optional heat exchanger, evaluating performance under cold-start or elevated-temperature conditions.

One rig. Every shift, every pressure spike, every fault mode.

The Windows-based HMI and SQL-backed software enable real-time graphing, barcode-driven traceability, and multi-format report generation, while an OPC UA interface allows seamless SCADA integration — supporting production lines, service centers, R&D labs, and training environments alike.

How It Works

Closed-loop hydraulic circuit.

At the heart of the rig lies a closed-loop hydraulic circuit that converts a PLC shift command into a captured modulation-curve profile.

1 · Shift Command

The PLC issues a shift command; the VFD adjusts motor RPM to achieve the desired flow rate through the 22.5 cc/rev gear pump.

2 · Directional Control

Oil is directed through a proportional directional valve, which positions the PST spool to forward, neutral, or reverse under electrical control.

3 · Data Capture

As the spool moves, three flow meters and pressure transducers capture time-stamped data at 1 kHz, producing a modulation-curve profile.

4 · Golden-Curve Compare

The HMI overlays each profile on a reference "golden" curve, instantly flagging spool displacement or pressure deviations.

Introduction

The Power Shuttle Transmission Test Rig ("ARJUN NOVO") is engineered to replicate the exact hydraulic and mechanical conditions encountered by Power Shuttle Clutch (PST) units in modern agricultural tractors. Unlike conventional transmission tests that require manual shifting, this rig automates the process of forward, neutral, and reverse actuation, using an electro-hydraulic valve to mimic on-the-fly direction changes.

By reproducing the full range of pressure spikes, flow rates, and temperature variations seen in the field, the system verifies clutch engagement smoothness, response speed, and leakage performance — all within a controlled laboratory environment. This not only accelerates end-of-line quality assurance but also uncovers subtle wear-related issues before they can impact tractor operation.

Installation requirements

Electrical: Dedicated three-phase 415 VAC ±10%, 50 Hz supply; 20 A circuit breaker with earth-leakage protection.
Pneumatic (optional): 6 bar dry, filtered air at 50 LPM for pneumatic valve actuation and safety interlocks.
Spatial needs: 2 m (L) × 1.5 m (W) footprint; 2.5 m minimum ceiling clearance; 1 m clearance around the rig for service access.
Environmental: Ambient 10–40°C; humidity 20–80% non-condensing; dust-free indoor area preferred.
Structural: Level, vibration-damped concrete floor rated for 600 kg; anchor bolt pattern included for securing the base frame.

Maintenance and calibration

Interval	Task
Daily	Visual inspection of hoses, fittings, and filter indicators; check oil level and temperature readings.
Monthly	Lubricate pump bearings; verify emergency-stop functionality; review alarm logs.
Annual	Complete oil replacement; replace filters; full system leak test.
Annual (Calibration)	Calibrate flow meters and transducers using a gravimetric flow bench and dead-weight pressure tester traceable to national standards.
Quarterly (Calibration)	VFD/PLC software integrity check and firmware updates; validate closed-loop control accuracy via step-response tests.

On-site spare and wear-part kits include filter elements, seal cartridges, spool-valve O-rings, and relief-valve springs — all designed for quick field swaps without special tools.

Software and data management

The rig's HMI software — built on a .NET 5 architecture — provides an intuitive dashboard displaying real-time pressure vs. flow graphs, temperature readings, and shift-cycle counters. Test recipes are stored as XML files, allowing easy import/export and version control. All run data is archived in an SQL Server 2019 database, searchable by date, batch number, or operator.

An OPC UA server enables seamless integration with factory SCADA and MES platforms. Report generation supports multiple formats — PDF for certificates, CSV for raw data, and XML for ERP ingestion — while user-role management ensures secure access to sensitive test results.

Conclusion

By combining high-precision hydraulic control, comprehensive data acquisition, and flexible software integration, the ARJUN NOVO PST Test Rig offers an end-to-end solution for both production and development environments. Its robust safety architecture and detailed calibration protocols guarantee reliable, repeatable testing over years of operation — minimizing warranty risks and elevating overall quality assurance for Power Shuttle Transmission units.
