WB23 & WB27

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a datasheet for Magtrol's WB 23 and WB 27 High-Speed Eddy-Current Dynamometers, designed for testing high-speed motors and tools. It outlines specifications, features, and system configurations.
Specifications: The WB 23 and WB 27 models offer torque ratings of 80 mN·m and 150 mN·m, respectively, with speeds up to 100,000 rpm. Power ratings are 250 W continuous, with intermittent capabilities of up to 500 W for WB 23 and 1 kW for WB 27. The dynamometers feature low inertia, stable braking torque, and built-in electronics for torque and speed measurement.
Features: Key features include low residual torque, air-bearing measuring systems, and data acquisition via DSP 7000 Controller and M-TEST Software. The dynamometers are equipped with a PT temperature sensor to prevent overheating.
Operating Principles: The dynamometers provide full braking power at high speeds, with braking torque proportional to rotational speed. They are not suitable for accurate control below 10,000 rpm due to the 2 PPR encoder.
M-TEST Software: M-TEST is a Windows-based software for motor testing, capable of calculating up to 63 parameters. It supports various test types and configurations, with data exportable to spreadsheets.
System Configuration: The dynamometers require a DSP 7000 Controller for excitation current and closed-loop control. The system can integrate a power analyzer and temperature testing hardware.
Mechanical & Electrical Characteristics: The dynamometers weigh approximately 18-21 kg, require an air supply of 7-10 l/min at 4-5 bar, and operate on a power supply of 90-230 VAC.
Torque-Speed-Power Curves: The datasheet includes graphs showing continuous, short-term, and intermittent power and torque ratings for both models.
Ordering Information: The document provides ordering codes for different configurations, including options for base plates and protection covers.
System Options and Accessories: Accessories include the DSP 7000 Controller, AMF Series Adjustable Motor Fixtures, 7500 Series Power Analyzers, and specific couplings for high-speed applications.

WB23 & WB27-1

HIGH-SPEED 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 ▪ Torque: 80 mN·m and 150 mN·m ▪ Speed: up to 100 000 rpm ▪ Power: 250 W continuous; up to 500 W (WB 23) or 1 kW (WB 27) intermittent ▪ Low inertia ▪ Very low residual torque ▪ Stable and smooth braking torque ▪ Measuring system with air-bearing ▪ Data acquisition via DSP 7000 Controller and M-TEST Software ▪ Built-in electronics with Torque & Speed measurement Fig. 1: WB 23 Eddy-current Dynamometer with AMF-1 (Adjustable Motor Fixture optional) and protection cover (optional) OPERATING PRINCIPLES Magtrol’s WB 23 and WB 27 Eddy-Current Dynamometers are designed for very-high-speed motors and dental or surgical tool testing applications. By providing a braking torque that is proportional to the rotational speed, rated torque is reached at the rated speed. The WB 23 and WB 27 Eddy-current Dynamometer provides their full braking power at high speed. This type of brake has been specially designed to test motors rotating at speeds up to 100 000 rpm, with the braking torque dependent upon the rotation speed. Due to its 2 PPR encoder, the system is not adapted to accurate close loop control below 10 000 rpm. The Dynamometers feature a low level of inertia, due to small rotor dimensions, and brake cooling is provided by air flow inside the dynamometer housing. A PT temperature sensor continuously monitors the brake temperature and alarms the DSP 7000 Controller to stop the brake excitation current in order to protect the dynamometer from overheating. The dynamometer include air bearings for minimizing friction and assuring best possible torque reading accuracy. It is mandatory to connect the air input through the air filtering and drying kit (included). Torque is measured by a reaction torque transducer placed on the stator. The dynamometer has a torque measuring accuracy rating of ± 0.2 % full scale. The speed is measured by an optical sensor and a 2  PPR (Pulses Per Revolution) encoder. This sensor measures speeds between 10 000 rpm and 100 000 rpm with a full scale accuracy of ± 0.06 % (using a DSP 7000). © 2020 MAGTROL | Due to continual product development, Magtrol reser
