The Hysteresis Dynamometer

Testing Principle

1. Hysteresis dynamometers employ electromagnetic induction to generate braking torque.
2. The torque produced is independent of the shaft speed, which facilitates precise load control.
3. The braking system comprises a pole structure and a steel rotor.
4. The magnetic flux present in the air gap generates a frictionless braking force.
5. Torque can be adjusted by regulating the excitation current.
