EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 15181 testing. GMW 15181 is a General Motors standard that outlines testing requirements for suspension knuckles under panic braking loads. Suspension joints are important components of a vehicle's suspension system, connecting the wheel and tire assembly to the suspension system and providing steering and braking.
The GMW 15181 standard specifies the test procedure and acceptance criteria for evaluating the strength and durability of suspension joints under panic braking loads. The test involves subjecting the suspension knuckle to a series of controlled braking applications that simulate panic braking events.
During testing, the suspension joint is attached to a test rig and subjected to a series of braking events with braking torque and pressure applied to simulate a panic stop. The suspension joint is monitored for any signs of deformation or malfunction, such as cracking or breakage.
The test is considered to have passed if the suspension link remains structurally sound and operational after being subjected to panic braking loads. The GMW 15181 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 its vehicles by ensuring that the suspension joints used in their vehicles are strong enough to withstand the overloads and stresses that occur during panic braking events.
