The Hicklin® EDECT transmission dynamometer is designed for heavy-duty transmissions, including all inline, v-drive and angle drive configurations. The EDECT will test the entire family of Allison® transmissions, Dana/Spicer®, Voith®, ZF®, and Renk® transmissions plus many military and off-road applications like CAT® and Clark® The EDECT accommodates all sizes of off-highway transmissions, powershift and manual shift, including drop-box and remote mounted configurations. It comes standard with a 150 hp (112 kW) direct drive AC Electric motor which is controlled by a precise, variable frequency drive controller. The electric motor delivers full torque capacity from 0 to 4000 RPM bidirectional. The EDECT was designed for extreme versatility so it also easily accommodates several other motor sizes ranging from 100 hp to 2,000 hp should testing requirements specify a different power level.
Dynamic load control is achieved using an air-cooled eddy current load unit which can absorb up to 1,500 lbs-ft (2034 N-m) of torque. The eddy current load unit makes the entire operation nearly maintenance free (no hydrostatic oil… no filters… no leaks). It is also extremely reliable with just one moving part, the flywheel assembly. The eddy current load unit absorbs up to 800 hp (597 kW) intermittently and up to 200 hp (149 kW) continuously allowing you to perform true full throttle, load-induced downshifts. The load unit can actually push test transmissions into first gear and hold them there, even with the drive system set at full throttle. This creates a test integrity never before possible in service level equipment. Precise load control allows you to infinitely select everything from no-load to full-load with unmatched precision and the stability to perform pinpoint shift detection.
The EDECT's standard SuperShifter Pro® software system gives the operator full digital control of both the dyno and the transmission from a simple laptop computer. The laptop is conveniently mounted on a movable tray so the operator can spot oil and pressure leaks, check hydraulic and system controls, and makes minor adjustments while the transmission is mounted on the tester. The EDECT can be upgraded with a WinDyn® Data Acquisition system for applications requiring high level data analysis and advanced testing capabilities.
Hicklin EDECT – Features
- The EDECT features a 150-hp, inverter-duty motor controlled by a built in Variable-Frequency Drive
- Sound-attenuated enclosure with interior sound proofing, hinged access door and work light allow operators to connect torque converters and monitor AC motor
- Pressure and cooler line manifold mounted directly above transmission for easy access and fast mount and dismount times
- Power indexing (optional) enables operators to rotate transmission to any angle for easy access, without having to drain the fluid
- Removable safety shield for PAU drive shaft assembly
- The air-cooled, eddy current load unit develops up to 1,512 lb-ft. of load torque and can absorb up to 800 hp intermittently and 200 hp continuously
- Included auto-stall mechanism utilizes rotor and brake calipers to provide up to 3,000 lb-ft. stall capacity
- Air-powered vertical eddy current adjustment provides easy alignment with every transmission
- Horizontal eddy current adjustment is simple and efficient with track and roller system
- Integrated isolation pads also serve as levelers
- 55 gallon oil reservoir and cooling system provides filtered oil to fill each transmission - oil is also filtered after testing prior to being pumped back into the reservoir
- 8” x 8” x 3/8” tubular steel frame - contiguously welded for internal oil storage (55 gallons) and a sold single piece construction provides years of service

SuperShifter Pro® is the most advanced and user friendly shift module we have ever offered. This easy-to-use Windows® based software system puts both the dyno and transmission controls right at your fingertips plus it gives you access to a whole host of features that make testing easier, quicker and more profitable. It was designed for extreme versatility so it works with transmission dynamometers, valve body testers and solenoid testers; an advantage that means your technicians only need to learn one software platform to run all SuperFlow® transmission test products.
