Used the middle to high power range. Eddy-Current Brakes provide with a Magtrol DSP7000 Programmable Dynamometer increasing torque as the speed increases, reaching peak torque Controller, Magtrol M-TEST 7 Software provides the control at rated speed. The dynamometers have low inertia as a result of any Magtrol Eddy-Current or Powder Brake Dynamometer of small rotor diameter. Brake cooling is provided by a water and runs test sequences in a manner best suited to the overall circulation system, which passes inside accuracy and efficiency of the Magtrol the stator to dissipate heat generated by Magtrol offers three types of dynamometer Motor Test System.

Eddy-current dynamometer OPERATING PRINCIPLES The WB Eddy-Current Dynamometers develop their full power at high rotation speeds. The 115 Series is particularly intended for motors which rotate at high speeds, up to 22,000 rpm. The braking torque depends on the rotation speed. WB dynamometer ratings Drag Torque De-energized Rated Torque Nominal Input Inertia Max.

POWDER DYNAMOMETER OPE RATI NO PRINCIPLES The PB Powder Dynamometers contain, as their name suggests, a magnetic powder. The electrical current passing through the coil generates a magnetic field, which changes the property of the powder, thus producing a smooth braking torque through friction between rotor and stator. The Powder Dynamometers (PB) produce their rated torque at zero speed. The element to be tested can be loaded at standstill to determine the starting torque.

Tandem Specifications Tandem OPERATING PRINCIPLES Because the characteristics of the WB and PB dynamometers are complementary, Magtrol is able to offer them mounted in a tandem setup. Each dynamometer (WB and PB) can autonomously operate according to its own characteristics. An electromagnetic clutch is needed for this application which automatically switches off at the maximum speed of the PB Powder Dynamometer and automatically switches on at zero speed. tandem dynamometer ratings Drag Torque De-energized Rated Torque Nominal Input Inertia Rated Power Rated Max.
