Validation is important for a high product quality of drive components.An X-in-the-Loop test bench enables the integration of scaled prototypes through coupling systems and scaling models even before serial parts are available.In the context of 730 sunken lake road X-in-the-loop investigations, it is still unclear whether a scaling model enables the early investigation of geometry variants in powertrain subsystems.

In this paper, scaled geometry experiments taking into account the interacting system are considered to evaluate the scaling model in terms of early investigation of geometry variants.The aim of this paper is the functional investigation of geometrically scaled drive components by integrating scaled prototypes in an here X-in-the-Loop test bench.Using an overload clutch with detents, component variants of different size levels are investigated in scaled experiments with a scaling model.

The results confirm possibilities of X-in-the-Loop integration of scaled prototypes and their investigation on geometrically scaled drive components.The investigations show, therefore, the opportunities of integrating scaled drive components through the scaling model to support the investigation of geometry variants before serial parts are available.Scaled geometry investigations considering the interacting system can, thus, support product development.
