2 Torque measurement in vehicles Only a dream till today? 2

3 General situation at the moment Powertrain components deal with torque - combustion engine - clutch - gearboxes and T-cases - differential and diff-locks - break systems, ESP Dream of every vehicle developer Knowledge of all torque values in the powertrain Till today only a dream, because Torque measurement is cost-intensive 3

4 General situation at the moment Torque will be calculated indirectly - pressure - length - angle - current, voltage - injected fuel quantity -... less accuracy Torque of powertrain is barely usable corrective factors narrow and expensive tolerances 4

5 Basic condition specification costs - non or low cost standard parts - replace hardware by software - no additional ECU function - accuracy: +/- 15 Nm for cars +/- 50 Nm for trucks - no temperature dependency - no wear TOrque Measurement Control for All Transmission Types result - torque signal + guaranteed tolerance - clearance of the powertrain 5

6 Advantages Major advantages of TOMCAT: Online measurement of torque in the powertrain Measurement of clearance size and wear in the powertrain Method for plausibilisation of transmission functions Optimization of gear shift strategy for all kind of automated transmissions (AT, DSG, CVT, DKG, Torque Vectoring,...) Evaluation of real stress for the whole series - Detection of overdimensioned components -> increase service intervals Improvement of ESP extended diagnosis - Gets important at high SIL level 6

8 Measuring principle Measurement of powertrain torsion ABS sensors Method of resolution: By using 2 existing ABS-sensors an one additional speed sensor in the transmission or T-case the torsion will be calculated relatively. The relative torsion is proportional to the transferred torque. Challenges: - Elimination of mech. clearance Speed sensor 8 - Conversion of relative torsion to an absolute value in [Nm]. Movie
