The Test Rig for 130 LPM Pump of LCA is a self-contained Electro-Hydraulic Test Rig engineered to address all requirements for testing the hydraulic pump used in the Light Combat Aircraft. Safety and user-friendliness are the defining design principles.

The pump under test (UUT) has a rated pressure of 270 bar, rated flow of 130 LPM at 270 bar, and rated speed of 6000 RPM. An LVDT with magnetic contact is provided for displacement measurement. The rig covers high-pressure proof testing, functional testing at rated conditions, and cyclic testing using Moog servo valves.

270 bar · 130 LPM · 6000 RPM — complete LCA pump test envelope in one rig.

A 160 kW squirrel-cage induction motor driven by an ABB ACS800 AC drive delivers power through a gearbox capable of 10,000 RPM output. Three SS304 reservoirs (90L, 225L, 50L) and three heat exchangers using water cooling maintain MIL-H-5606E oil within the operating temperature envelope up to 120°C.

Key Features

Nine system capabilities.

The complete engineering feature set of the NMX-TR-130LPM-LCA.

Feature · 01

Drive System with Gearbox Lube Oil System

160 kW squirrel-cage induction motor (M2BA315MLC2) driven by ABB ACS800 AC drive (250 Hz, 160 kW). Gearbox steps speed up to 10,000 RPM max. Dedicated lube oil system for the gearbox.

160 kW · ACS800 · 10,000 RPM Gearbox

Feature · 02

High-Pressure System — Pressure Proof Testing

Hydraulic circuit rated for pressure proof testing at above-rated pressure. Flexible disc coupling with shear pin between gearbox and torque sensor protects the UUT from overload events.

270 bar Rated · Shear Pin Protection · Proof Test

Feature · 03

Low-Pressure System — Functional Test

Separate low-pressure circuit for functional performance testing at rated flow and pressure. Covers the full operating envelope of the LCA pump at 130 LPM and 270 bar.

Functional Test · 130 LPM · 270 bar

Feature · 04

Moog Servo Valves for Cyclic Testing

Two Moog-make servo valves are provided for cyclic test routines — enabling pressure and flow cycling to simulate operational duty cycles and perform fatigue and endurance characterisation.

2× Moog Servo Valve · Cyclic Test · Endurance

Feature · 05

Torque Measurement

Lebow 1703 torque sensor (0–200 N·m range) is installed between the gearbox and the UUT coupling, providing direct torque and power measurement throughout the test cycle.

Feature · 06

Water Cooling via Heat Exchangers

Three heat exchangers using water as the cooling medium maintain MIL-H-5606E oil temperature within the operating envelope up to 120°C — critical for sustained high-load test runs.

3× Heat Exchanger · Water Cooling · 120°C Design

Feature · 07

Hydraulic Filtration with Clog Indicators

Filtration at appropriate points in the circuit. All filters are equipped with electronic clogging indicators that alert the operator when a filter element requires replacement — preventing contaminated oil reaching the UUT.
