Micro Dyne | Motors Testing System-4

MICRO DYNE OPERATING PRINCIPLES SPEED MEASUREMENT TORQUE MEASUREMENT The Micro Dyne contains a reflective fiber optic speed pickup. Each rotor slot that passes by the sensing end of the fiber optic generates an electronic pulse, which is then converted to a speed reading (in rpm). A hysteresis brake is used to develop a resistance to rotation of a mechanical shaft. A torsional force is produced by the test motor and applied to the brake’s rotor-shaft assembly. Reaction torque is measured by the angle of the brake pendulum assembly and is interpreted by the Micro Dyne system software (M-TEST 7)....
