Hysteresis Dynamometers / Engine Dynamometers HD and ED Series

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document outlines the specifications and features of Magtrol's HD Hysteresis Dynamometers and ED Engine Dynamometers, which are designed for precise motor testing across various industries.
HD Hysteresis Dynamometers
  • Features: Available in 16 models with maximum torque ranging from 2.5 oz·in to 500 lb·in. They use a hysteresis braking system for precise torque loading independent of shaft speed, with accuracy between ±0.25% to ±0.5% full scale.
  • Description: Suitable for low to medium power testing (up to 14 kW). Cooling methods include convection, compressed air, or blower, depending on the model. Equipped with air flow sensors to prevent overheating.
  • Applications: Used in industries such as automotive, aviation, and medical for testing small to medium-sized motors and engines.
ED Engine Dynamometers
  • Features: Maximum torque ranges from 55 lb·in to 250 lb·in. They are blower-cooled and include reinforced load cells for durability under high vibration conditions.
  • Description: Designed for high-performance testing of small engines, with manual or PC-based control options. They provide torque independent of speed and have a long operating life with low maintenance.
  • Applications: Ideal for emissions testing and performance evaluation in compliance with CARB and EPA regulations.
Operating Principles
The dynamometers use a hysteresis braking system that provides frictionless torque loading through magnetic interaction between a pole structure and a rotor/shaft assembly.
PC Control and Software
Magtrol's M-TEST 5.0 software facilitates comprehensive motor testing and data acquisition, supporting various motor types and testing methods for flexibility and efficiency in engineering labs.
Dynamometer Selection
Selection is based on maximum torque, speed, and power requirements. The document provides formulas for calculating power in different units and emphasizes the importance of considering maximum power ratings for safe operation.
Technical Specifications
Includes detailed tables of specifications for various models, including torque range, power ratings, and cooling methods, along with dimensions and electrical requirements.
Specifications
The document lists various models of HD and ED series dynamometers with detailed dimensions in both inches and millimeters. Key parameters include shaft diameter, mounting hole distances, and weight, with power absorption curves indicating specific torque and speed capabilities.
Power Absorption Curves
These curves illustrate the maximum power (heat) that each dynamometer model can dissipate over time, showing the relationship between torque and speed.
System Configurations
Magtrol offers both open loop and closed loop test systems. Open loop systems are used for quick pass/fail testing, while closed loop systems involve data collection on a PC using M-TEST software and DSP6001 controllers. Custom motor test systems can be designed to meet specific user requirements.
Ordering Information
Includes a list of available controllers, power analyzers, software, and accessories, along with details on custom dynamometer options such as high-speed testing and mechanical modifications.
Key Features
- High-speed programmable dynamometer controllers (DSP6001)
- Open loop and closed loop system configurations
- Customizable options for specific testing needs
- Detailed dimension drawings available on Magtrol's website

With a Hysteresis Braking system, the Dynamometers do not require speed to create torque, and therefore can provide a full motor ramp from free-run to locked rotor. Brake cooling is provided by convection (no external source), by compressed air or by dedicated blower, depending on the model. All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ± 0.25% to ± 0.5% full scale — depending on size and system configuration. With Magtrol’s Engine Dynamometers, high performance motor testing is available to manufacturers and users of small engines. Magtrol’s Engine Dynamometers have been designed to address the severe, high vibration conditions inherent in internal combustion engine testing. Magtrol’s Engine Dynamometers are highly accurate (± 0.25% of full scale) and can be controlled either manually or via a PC based Controller. For a small engine test stand, Magtrol offers a full line of controllers, readouts and software. To better integrate dynamometers into systems, Magtrol offers both long and short base plates. The shorter base plate facilitates easier motor Model HD-710 mounting when used with T-slot tables Hysteresis Dynamometer and Magtrol Adjustable Motor As with all Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers, with long base plate Fixtures, where as the long base engine loading is provided by Magtrol’s Hysteresis plates are better suited for table Brake, which provides: torque independent of speed, top testing. including full load at 0 rpm; excellent repeatability; frictionless torque with no wearing parts (other than bearings); and long operating life with low maintenance. Magtrol HD APPLICATIONS provides a NIST traceable certificate of calibration, and calibration beam with each Engine Dynamometer. Magtrol motor test systems can be found in test labs, at inspection stations, and on the manufacturing floors of most of the world’s leading manufacturers, users and certifiers of small ED APPLICATIONS to medium sized electric, pneumatic and hydraulic motors, The Engine Dynamometers are ideally suited for emissions as well as internal combustion engines. Magtrol supplies testing as set forth in CARB and EPA Clean Air Regulations. motor test systems for a wide array of industries including: The Dynamometers will offer superior performance on the Appliance, Automotive, Aviation, Computer, HVAC, Lawn production line, at incoming inspection or in the R&D lab. and Garden, Medical and Dental, Electric Motor, Office Equipment and Power Tools. www.magtrol.com 1
