EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 14984 testing. GMW 14984 is a General Motors standard that outlines testing requirements for brake thermal abuse using an inertial dynamometer test. The braking system is one of the most critical safety systems in a vehicle, and its ability to withstand high thermal loads is essential to ensure safe and reliable operation.
The standard specifies the test procedure and acceptance criteria for evaluating the thermal performance of the brake system under extreme conditions. The test involves subjecting the brake system to a series of controlled braking events that generate high temperatures and thermal loads.
During testing, the braking system is mounted on an inertia dynamometer and subjected to a series of braking events with applied braking torque and pressure to generate high temperatures and thermal loads. The brake system is monitored for any signs of overheating, such as brake weakening or loss of stopping power.
The test is considered successful if the braking system can maintain its stopping power and thermal stability under the extreme conditions of the test. The GMW 14984 standard also sets specific acceptance criteria for testing, including factors such as maximum temperature limits and minimum stopping distances.
By performing this test, General Motors helps ensure the safety and reliability of its vehicles by ensuring that the brake system used in its vehicles can withstand high thermal loads in extreme driving conditions such as high speed driving or prolonged braking.
