Universal Dynamometer

Model No: FLUIDMC-06
  • It has two parts: the electric dynamometer, and a motor drive and display unit. 
  • The dynamometer is an induction motor, trunnion-mounted to allow it to move freely against a strain gauge load cell.
  • The Universal Dynamometer directly drives the Fluid Power machines. 
  • This means that the user has no need to fit or adjust the tension of belts and pulleys. 
  • The motor drive and display unit contains a variable-speed a.c. inverter drive and includes signal conditioning. 
  • It digitally displays speed, torque and shaft power. 
  • An inductive sensor measures the shaft speed. 
  • The load cell measures the shaft torque. 
  • A precision-machined base plate holds the motor and its sensors. 
  • The base plate has location points to give accurate and repeatable alignment onto each Fluid Power module. 
  • The coupling between the Universal Dynamometer and all Fluid Power machines is a jaw-type coupling with a rubber element. 
  • The front of the motor drive and display unit has motor stop, start and speed controls. 
  • Outlets on the back of the unit give power for instruments supplied with the Fluid Power modules. 
  • This reduces the need for multiple mains connections and gives a neater and safer equipment arrangement.
