AVL E-Motor TS™ NVH

Our commitment to silence.

Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) is a key factor in driver satisfaction. We provide dedicated testbeds, systems, and processes to measure, test, calibrate, and ultimately reduce NVH – for a superior, quieter, and more satisfying drive.

NVH Testbed for E-Motor Testing

Electrified propulsion systems are rapidly transforming modern transportation, creating new challenges in the evolving noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) environment, which is critical for all future powertrains. At AVL, our in-house expertise in high-speed applications and NVH testing has enabled us to develop a complete portfolio of standard NVH test system solutions. These systems can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of our valued customers.

For e-motors, our NVH solutions range from high-end performance testing to precision and efficiency setups, ensuring optimized interior and exterior vehicle sound. The versatile AVL E-Motor TS™ NVH system is fully customizable, offering advanced technology to meet the demanding needs of modern NVH engineering.

As a leading provider of testing equipment and high-tech engineering services, we specialize in single components, powertrains, and complete propulsion systems. Our innovative, user-oriented solutions are tailored to the specific needs of our customers' units under test (UUT). We are committed to meeting the strict acoustic standards required in modern NVH testing, ensuring that all systems meet agreed-upon NVH targets. Each component is carefully tuned, and the entire system is validated through a comprehensive acceptance analysis, guaranteeing optimal performance.

NVH Testbed for E-Motor Testing - Center View

Our advanced NVH test systems are designed to support all UUT variants, enabling precise validation of e-motors. We provide highly efficient, fast, and sustainable solutions to tackle NVH challenges, ensuring optimal testing conditions for reliable results.

A key advantage is the specially engineered load unit and acoustic chamber, which allow for ultra-low noise measurements even at high speeds. This minimizes interference with the acoustic free-field conditions of the laboratory, ensuring highly accurate data. Additionally, our test facility offers seamless integration into existing infrastructures and is available as a flexible, mobile containerized solution.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-Silent Design: Achieve minimal overall noise levels in the test cell, with noise as low as 50 dBA at 20,000 rpm, ensuring precise and quiet testing conditions.
     
  • Containerized Solution: Our fully assembled, pre-commissioned testbed comes ready for immediate use, significantly reducing onsite setup activities and ensuring a faster, more efficient deployment process.
