MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010130 A) filed by Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat, on Jan. 30, for 'automated chain testing device for a two-wheeler vehicle.'
Inventor(s) include R. Gayathri; M. Rithwik; Dr. Madhu Shukla; Simrin Fathima Syed; Vipul Ladva; Akshay Ranpariya; and Neel Dholakia.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An automated chain testing device for a two-wheeler vehicle, comprises a fatigue testing unit 101 mounted on a base platform 102, to engage a chain over sprockets of a two-wheeler vehicle and apply repetitive tension-compression cycles to detect fatigue, a tensile testing unit 103 to apply an axial load to the vehicle's chain to detect tensile force and localized deformation, a wear evaluation unit to simulate long-term operational stress on the chain. a processor to coordinate a testing sequence for the motorbike chain and execute artificial intelligence (AI) protocol to predict wear rate for the motorbike chain by analyzing fused data from the plurality of sensors, a dimensional compliance unit to apply an axial force to a chain pin, and detect pin displacement, a proof-load testing unit having a pneumatic pre-loader 108 to apply initial tension and a digital linear displacement sensor (LVDT) 109 to measure chain elongation."
