  • Patent number: 12140497
    Abstract: Conformance testing of a rebuilt motor includes disposing a motor under test in a motor test stand, coupling a plurality of sensors to the motor under test including a first vibrational sensor to the motor under test; a first temperature sensor to the motor under test; a first rotational speed sensor to the motor under test. A set of test parameters are received comprising parameters for a conformance test, the test parameters including a vibrational sensor parameter, a temperature sensor parameter, and a rotational speed parameter. A motor under test is placed in an on-state and a processing device receives sensor data simultaneously from the sensors, determines that the rotational speed satisfies the rotational speed parameter, and stores time sampled sensor data received from the plurality of sensors relative to a time zero corresponding to a time when the rotational speed satisfies the rotational speed.
