Dynamometer Motor Testing
In addition to our MA motor testing system we also feature dyno testing for large motors. The dyno test lab measures power, force or moment of force. The power of a motor, engine or other rotating prime mover is calculated by measuring rotational speed and torque at the same time.
The dyno can also indicate how much torque and power are necessary to operate pumps and other driven machines. In these cases, the appropriate tool is a “driving” dynamometer. Dynos that are not designed to be driven are called “absorption” or “passive” dynamometers. Some dynos can absorb or drive depending on testing needs. These are called “universal” or “active” dynamometers.
AC motor dynamometers and DC motor dynamometers are key to the development and testing of electric motors. The dyno allows for variable and full load testing necessary to ensure optimal function.
