Product catalog summary
Overview
The document is a datasheet for the WB Series Eddy-Current Dynamometers by Magtrol, designed for high-speed and high-power applications. These dynamometers are part of a broader range of products, including Hysteresis and Magnetic Powder dynamometers.
Features
  • 13 models with maximum torque ranging from 300 mN·m to 560 N·m.
  • Braking power between 500 W and 140 kW.
  • Stable braking torque without shock and low moment of inertia.
  • Integrated optical speed sensor and torque measurement.
  • High rotational speed capability.
Description
The WB Series Eddy-Current Dynamometers are suitable for applications requiring high speeds and high power. They provide increasing torque with speed, reaching peak torque at rated speed. The dynamometers feature low inertia due to small rotor diameter and are cooled by a water circulation system.
Applications
These dynamometers are used for testing servomotors, micromotors, fans, drills, combustion engines, pumps, and other driving elements.
Operating Principles
The dynamometers develop full power at high rotation speeds, suitable for motors rotating up to 65,000 rpm, with some models reaching up to 100,000 rpm.
Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including rated torque, drag torque, nominal input inertia, rated power, rated speed, maximum speed, and excitation current.
Configurations
The dynamometers can be complemented with electronic modules like the DES Series Power Supply, TSC 401 Torque/Speed Conditioner, and DSP 7000 Dynamometer Controller. Additional torque transducers can be used for high precision measurements.
Torque-Speed-Power Curves
The datasheet includes torque-speed-power curves for different models, illustrating performance characteristics across various speeds.
Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for each model are provided, emphasizing the need for water cooling and offering both metric and imperial units.
Conclusion
The WB Series Eddy-Current Dynamometers by Magtrol are versatile tools for high-speed and high-power testing applications, offering precise torque and speed measurements with integrated cooling systems.
Related Products
The document describes the PB Series Powder Dynamometers, which use magnetic powder to produce braking torque, and the Tandem Series, which combines WB and PB dynamometers for complementary operation. The Dual Series offers higher power applications with multiple dynamometers mounted in tandem.
Dynamometer Options
Options include high-speed versions, industrial versions without torque/speed measurement, mechanical rotor blocking devices for locked rotor testing, and vertical mounting configurations. Each option is tailored for specific testing needs.
System Options and Accessories
The DSP 7000 High-Speed Programmable Dynamometer Controller provides advanced motor testing capabilities with digital signal processing technology. The TSC 401 Torque/Speed Conditioner connects dynamometers to the DSP 7000. DES Series Power Supplies and MODEL 7500 Series Power Analyzers are designed for comprehensive power measurement and analysis.
Software
M-TEST is a Windows-based motor testing software that works with Magtrol's dynamometers and controllers to determine motor performance characteristics. It offers various testing modes and data analysis capabilities, with customization options available.
Ordering Information
The document provides a guide for ordering different models and versions of the WB Series Dynamometers, including high-speed, industrial, and vertical mounting versions.

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
