Universal Dynamometer
• 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.
