The range of test conditions on the dynamometer shall be sufficient to determine the primary operating characteristics corresponding to the full range of vehicle operations. The characteristics to be determined are: a Torque ratio versus speed ratio and output speed b Input speed versus speed ratio and output speed c Efficiency versus speed ratio and output speed d Capacity factor versus speed ratio and output speed e Input torque versus input speed NOTE: For more information about these characteristics and the design of hydrodynamic drives, refer to “Design Practices: Passenger Car Automatic Transmissions,” SAE Advances in Engineering, AE-18 (Third Ed.) or AE-29 (Fourth Ed.).

The following listed definitions are intended to establish terminology and criteria for describing the various kinds of automotive transmissions. A specific arrangement may be described by a combination of several of these definitions.

Figures 1 through 5 illustrate in simplified form some of the more common planetary gear arrangements in order to establish applicable terminology. Figures 6 and 7 provide additional examples that use elements of those gear arrangements. Gear ratio is the numerical ratio of input to output speed.

The scope and purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to provide a standard pattern or sequence for the manual control of automatic transmissions in passenger cars and light-duty trucks. This generally refers to left hand drive mechanical shift applications.

The extent of test conditions on the dynamometer must be sufficient to determine the efficiency characteristics corresponding to the following range of vehicle operations in all gear ratios with locked torque converters (open converter can also be done where appropriate and noted). a Efficiency versus output speed versus input torque b Torque ratio versus output speed c Input speed versus output speed d Output torque versus output speed e Parasitic loss versus input speed (spin losses) f Cooler flow g Output torque bias (front wheel drive transaxles)
