EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 14988 testing. GMW 14988 is a General Motors standard that outlines testing requirements for rear brake corner/knuckle fatigue under braking loads. Rear brake knuckles/knuckles are critical components of a vehicle's braking system, responsible for transmitting braking force from the brake caliper to the wheel assembly.
The standard specifies the test procedure and acceptance criteria for evaluating the fatigue strength and durability of the rear brake corner/knuckle under braking loads. The test involves subjecting the brake corner/knuckle to a series of controlled braking applications that simulate normal braking events.
During testing, the brake corner/knuckle is attached to a test rig and subjected to a series of braking events with brake torque and pressure applied to simulate normal braking events. The brake corner/knuckle is monitored for any signs of deformation or malfunction, such as cracking or breakage.
The test is considered successful if the brake corner/knuckle remains structurally sound and functional after being subjected to brake loads. The GMW 14988 standard also sets specific acceptance criteria for testing, including factors such as maximum deformation limits and visual inspection for cracks and fractures.
By performing this test, General Motors helps ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicles by ensuring that the rear brake corners/knuckles used on their vehicles are strong enough to withstand the repetitive loads and stresses that occur during normal braking events.
