WB/PB 65 Data Sheet WB/PB 65 Series Eddy-Current and Powder Dynamometers 1 www.magtrol.com MAGTROL feaTureS • 4 Models with Maximum Torque from 10 N·m to 50 N·m (7.3 lb·ft to 36 lb·ft) • Braking Power: 1.5 kW to 12 kW • Stable Braking Torque, without Shock • Low Moment of Inertia • Low Residual Torque • Operation in Either Rotational Direction • Braking Torque Measurement Included • High Rotational Speed • Rated Torque Available From Zero Speed (Powder Dynamometers) • Integrated Optical Speed Sensor deSCriPTion Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers (WB series) are ideal for applications requiring high speeds and also when operating in the middle to high power range. Eddy-Current Brakes provide increasing torque as the speed increases, reaching peak torque at rated speed. The dynamometers have low inertia as a result of small rotor diameter. Brake cooling is provided by a water circulation system, which passes inside the stator to dissipate heat generated by the braking power. The water cooling in the WB provides high continuous power ratings (max. 12 kW). Powder Brake Dynamometers (PB series) are ideal for applications operating in the low to middle speed range or when operating in the middle to high torque range. Powder Brakes provide full torque at zero speed and are water-cooled, allowing for power ratings up to 3 kW. Both WB and PB Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ±0.3% to ±0.5% full scale, depending on size and system configuration. aPPliCaTionS Mounted on test benches, WB/PB 65 Series Dynamometers allow performance and reliability testing on driving elements such as electric motors, combustion engines, hand-held power tools, windshield wiper motors, servomotors, fans, geared motors, reduction gears, pneumatic equipment, hydraulic transmission systems, motors for domestic appliances, starter motors, gas turbines and turbocompressors. moTor TeSTing SySTemS Magtrol’s M-TEST 5.0 Software is a state-of-the-art motor testing program for Windows®-based data acquisition. Used with a Magtrol DSP6001 Programmable Dynamometer Controller, Magtrol M-TEST 5.0 Software provides the control of any Magtrol Eddy-Current or Powder Brake Dynamometer and runs test sequences in a manner best suited to the overall accuracy and efficiency of the Magtrol Motor Test System. The data that is generated by Magtrol’s Motor Testing Software can be stored, displayed and printed in tabular or graphic formats, and can be easily imported into a spreadsheet. Written in LabVIEW™, M-TEST 5.0 has the flexibility to test a majority of motor types in a variety of ways. Because of LabVIEW’s versatility, obtaining data from other sources (e.g. thermocouples), controlling motor power and providing audio/visual indicators is relatively easy. Magtrol’s M-TEST 5.0 Software is ideal for simulating loads, cycling the unit under test and motor ramping. Because it is easy to gather data and duplicate tests, the software is ideal for use in engineering labs. Tests can be programmed to run on their own and saved for future use allowing for valuable time savings in production testing and incoming/outgoing inspection. Model 1 WB 65-HS Eddy-Current Dynamometer Magtrol offers three types of dynamometer brakes to absorb load: Hysteresis, Eddy- Current and Magnetic Powder. Each type of Dynamometer has advantages and limitations and choosing the correct one will depend largely on the type of testing to be performed. With over 0 models to choose from, Magtrol Sales professionals are readily available to assist in selecting the proper Dynamometer to meet your testing needs.
