Abstract: To achieve high precision in a test stand environment, a method and a device for calibrating a torque measurement unit includes connecting the torque measurement unit with a dynamometer, a set point speed nsoll larger than 0 rpm is specified for a speed regulator, whereby the speed regulator generates a set point torque Tsoll, which is upwardly limited by a reference torque limit Tmax that can be specified, and the reference torque that is limited in this way is specified to the dynamometer as reference torque Tstell.

Abstract: To fulfill the high requirement of precision in a test stand environment, a method and a device for calibrating a torque measurement unit is proposed, with which a calibration process can be performed very easily, flexibly and precisely, and simultaneously, the safety requirements can be met as well. To do so, a torque measurement unit 3 is connected with an dynamometer 2, a set point speed nsoll larger than 0 Umin?1 is specified for a speed regulator 10, whereby the speed regulator 10 generates a set point torque Tsoll, which is upwardly limited by a reference torque limit Tmax that can be specified and the reference torque that is limited in this way, is specified to the dynamometer 2 as reference torque Tstell.
