A hysteresis dynamometer uses electromagnetic hysteresis — the lag between magnetic field and material magnetization — to generate a smooth, speed-independent braking torque. The steel rotor and pole structure create a frictionless magnetic air gap. Torque is precisely controlled by adjusting excitation current, enabling full torque delivery from zero RPM through maximum rated speed without any mechanical contact.
نعم. This is the key advantage of hysteresis dynamometers. Because torque is generated by the electromagnetic hysteresis effect rather than rotor motion, rated braking torque is available at zero RPM. This makes hysteresis dynos the standard choice for starting torque measurement, cogging torque testing, locked rotor tests, and servo motor evaluation.
EconoTest EC/ECO series covers torque from 0.1 نانومتر (EC0.1KB, EC0.1HB) ل 30 نانومتر (EC30KB) وسرعات تصل إلى 30,000 دورة في الدقيقة (سلسلة كيلو بايت, air-cooled) أو 25,000 دورة في الدقيقة (سلسلة اتش بي, air+water cooled). The complete model range includes: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, و 30 Nm models.
كيلو بايت (معيار) series: accuracy ±0.5% full scale, السرعة القصوى 30,000 دورة في الدقيقة (نماذج صغيرة) down to 4,000 دورة في الدقيقة (30 Nm model); most KB models are air-cooled, while the 5, 7.5 و 15 Nm KB models are water-cooled. غ.ب (دقة عالية) series: accuracy ±0.2% full scale, maximum speed up to 25,000 RPM on most models, with air+water, ماء + منفاخ أو هواء + منفاخ تبريد حسب الحجم. Choose HB series for precision servo motor testing, cogging torque measurement, or applications where ±0.2% accuracy is required.
Hysteresis dynamometers are ideal for: AC motors, DC motors, BLDC motors, محركات السائر, محركات سيرفو, and any motor where zero-speed or low-speed torque measurement is required. They are particularly suited for servo motor evaluation (bandwidth, عزم الدوران المسنن, speed ripple) and for any motor requiring testing from free-run to locked rotor in a single setup.
Cooling varies by model. سلسلة كيلو بايت: air cooling on most models; the EC5KB, EC7.5KB and EC15KB are water-cooled. سلسلة اتش بي: air+water cooling on the 0.1–3 Nm models, water+blower on EC5HB, air+blower on EC10HB, and air cooling on EC20HB. For extended test cycles or high-duty applications, water-cooled models are recommended. The cooling system is integrated and requires no external fan or pump for smaller air-cooled models.
Standard tests include: torque measurement (rated, الدوار مقفل, breakdown), speed testing, power and efficiency, ارتفاع درجة الحرارة, الاهتزاز والضوضاء, load characteristics, cogging torque and torque ripple, القدرة الزائدة, starting performance, transient response, and harmonic analysis of voltage and current. The hysteresis dyno supports both steady-state and dynamic measurement requirements.
Hysteresis dynamometers operate without mechanical contact between rotor and stator, which means minimal wear and very low maintenance. No brushes, no friction surfaces, and no consumables need replacement in normal operation. Periodic checks of bearing condition and cooling water quality (for water-cooled models) are the primary maintenance tasks.
