WB Series | Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers - 1

EDDY-CURRENT DYNAMOMETERS MAGTROL offers 3 types of dynamometer brakes to absorb load: Hysteresis (HD Series), Eddy-Current (WB Series) and Magnetic Powder (PB Series). 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 50 standard models to choose from, Magtrol Sales professionals are readily available to assist in selecting the proper Dynamometer to meet your testing needs. FEATURES ▪ 13 Models with Maximum Torque: 300 mN·m ... 560 N·m (42 oz·in ... 413 lb·ft) ▪ Braking Power: 500 W ... 140 kW ▪ Stable Braking Torque, without Shock ▪ Low Moment of Inertia ▪ Low Residual Torque ▪ Operating Direction CW / CCW ▪ Braking Torque Measurement Integrated ▪ High Rotational Speed ▪ Integrated Optical Speed Sensor ▪ Special designs available upon request 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, providing high continuous power ratings (max. 140 kW). WB Series Dynamometers integrate a torque measuring system with an accuracy ratings of ± 0.3 % to ± 0.5 % full scale, depending on size and system configuration. Mounted on test benches, the WB Series Eddy-Current Dynamometers allow performance and reliability testing on driving elements such as servomotors, micromotors for cameras, fans, drills, combustion engine, pumps, pneumatic equipment, hydraulic transmission systems, gas turbines, spindles, compressors and motors for domestic appliances. EDDY-CURRENT DYNAMOMETER OPERATING PRINCIPLES The WB Eddy-Current Dynamometers develop their full power at high rotation speeds. The WB Series is particularly intended for motors which rotate at high speeds, up to 65 000 rpm (up to 100 000 rpm with WB 23 / 27; see specific datasheet). The braking torque depends on the rotation speed. OPTICAL SPEED SENSOR Each WB Series Dynamometer has an optical speed sensor delivered as standard. WB 2.7 & WB 43 has an optical speed sensor with a 30 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution) encoder; WB 65, WB 115 & WB 15 has an optical speed sensor with a 60 PPR encoder. © 2021 MAGTROL | Due to continual product development, Magtr

WB SERIES DYNAMOMETER CONFIGURATIONS The Dynamometers can be complemented by various electronic modules such as the DES Series (Power Supply), TSC 401 (Torque/Speed Conditioner) and DSP 7000 (High Speed Programmable Dynamometer Controller). accurate torque and speed measurement with high noise immunity. For a dynamic, high-precision system, the torque transducer can be mounted in line between the unit under test and the dynamometer, providing a torque accuracy of 0.1 %. Magtrol also offers In-Line Torque Transducers (TS Series or TM Series) or Torque Flange (TF Series) for extremely TS /...
