What is a Dynamometer?

Dynamometers Testing solution is a device used to measure torque, poder, e rotational speed of an engine, motor, or other rotating machinery. Dynamometers are critical tools used in various industries, including automotive, aeroespacial, and industrial sectors, to test the performance, eficiência, and reliability of engines, motors, and drivetrains under different load conditions. Whether for R&D, production line testing, or regulatory compliance, a dynamometer provides accurate data that helps manufacturers optimize products for maximum efficiency and safety.

Principles of Dynamometers:

Dinamômetro

A dynamometers is a device used to apply a load or braking force on the test object, (such as motors, motores, mechanical systems, etc.) to measure its power and performance. The operating principle of a dynamometer usually relies on several methods:

  1. Electromagnetic Induction Principle (Eddy-Current Dynamometer): Uses the interaction between electromagnetic fields and conductors to generate resistance, which is then used to measure power and torque.
  2. Friction Principle (Dinamômetro de Pó Magnético, Powder Brake Dynamometer): Measures power by adjusting the friction medium (such as magnetic powder or powder), controlling the braking force.
  3. Hydraulic/Pneumatic Dynamometer: Measures power by variations in hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, typically used for high-power testing.
  4. Mechanical Braking Principle (Electric/Mechanical Dynamometer): Uses direct mechanical contactor electric braking systems to apply load and measure power output.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Dynamometer

  • Power Range: Choose a dynamometer suitable for your required power testing range.
  • Speed Requirements: For high-speed applications, an Eddy-Current Dynamometer is preferred.
  • Accuracy Needs: For high-precision testing, Eddy-Current and Magnetic Powder Dynamometers are ideal.
  • Environmental Conditions: Consider additional cooling or protection for high-temperature or high-humidity environments.
  • Budget: Different types of dynamometers vary greatly in cost.

Dynamometer Testing Selection:

Dynamometers cover a wide range of Torque, Classificações de velocidade e potência mecânica. selecting the appropriate size Dynamometer for your motor testing needs, you will need to determine the Maximum Torque, Speed e Power applied to the Dynamometer:

Maximum Torque of Brake Dynamometer Testing:

It is important to consider all torque points that are to be tested, not only rated torque, but also Lock Rotor and Breakdown Torque. Dynamometer selection should initially base on the maximum torque requirement, subject to determining the maximum power requirements.

Maximum Speed of Dino Testing:

This rating is to be considered independent of torque and power requirements, and is the maximum speed at which the Dynamometer can be safely run under free run or lightly loaded conditions. It is not to be considered as the maximum speed at which full braking torque can appliy.

Maximum Power Ratings of Brake Dynamometer Testing:

These ratings represent the maximum capability of the DynamometerBraking System to absorb and dissipate heat generated when applying a braking load to the motor under test. The power absorbed and the heat generated by the Dynamometer is a function of the Torque (T) applied to the motor under test, and the resulting speed (n) of the motor.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dynamometers

What types of dynamometers does EconoTest manufacture?

EconoTest manufactures four dynamometer families: dinamômetros de histerese (Série CE/ECO) for precision low-torque testing, dinamômetros de correntes parasitas (Série ECW) for high-speed testing, dinamômetros de pó magnético (Série ECF) for high-torque low-speed and production line testing, and four-quadrant AC dynamometers (EC5A a EC2000A) for motoring and loading applications. All parameters are customizable upon customer requirements.

What torque ranges do EconoTest dynamometers cover?

Hysteresis dynamometers cover 0.1–30 Nm; eddy current dynamometers cover 0.5–300 Nm; magnetic powder dynamometers cover 2–2,000 Nm; AC dynamometers cover 5–2,000 Nm. Together the range spans from 0.1 Nm micro-motor testing to 2,000 Nm heavy industrial applications.

Which dynamometer type can produce full torque at zero speed?

Hysteresis and magnetic powder dynamometers both deliver full rated braking torque at zero RPM, making them suitable for starting torque, torque de engrenagem, and locked rotor testing. Eddy current dynamometers cannot generate torque at zero speed because braking force depends on rotor motion. AC dynamometers can apply torque at zero speed in motoring mode.

Which dynamometer is best for high-speed motor testing?

Eddy current dynamometers reach the highest speeds — up to 50,000 RPM (ECW05KB). Hysteresis dynamometers reach 30,000 RPM (Série KB) ou 25,000 RPM (Série HB). AC dynamometers cover 8,000–18,000 RPM. Magnetic powder dynamometers are limited to 2,000–5,000 RPM and are best for low-to-medium speed applications.

What measurement accuracy do EconoTest dynamometers achieve?

Histerese: ±0,5% da escala completa (Série KB) or ±0.2% (HB high-precision series). Corrente parasita: ±0.2% to ±0.5% full scale. Pó magnético: ±0.2% to ±0.5% full scale. Dinamômetros CA: ±0.20% full scale for both torque and speed.

What cooling do the different dynamometer types require?

Eddy current dynamometers are all water-cooled. Modelos de pó magnético abaixo 20 Nm são refrigerados a ar, 20 Nm and above are water-cooled. Hysteresis cooling varies by model: air, ar+água, water+blower or air+blower. Cooling requirements are specified per model in the technical documentation.

What is the difference between an absorption dynamometer and a four-quadrant dynamometer?

Absorption dynamometers (histerese, corrente parasita, pó magnético) can only apply braking load — they absorb energy from the unit under test and dissipate it as heat. A four-quadrant AC dynamometer can both load and drive the test article in both rotation directions, and recovers braking energy back to the grid, enabling efficiency mapping and hybrid powertrain simulation.

Can multiple dynamometers be combined in one test system?

Sim. EconoTest offers multiple dynamometer solutions that combine different dynamometer types on a single platform, allowing one test bench to cover a wider torque and speed envelope. Contact EconoTest engineers to configure a combined solution for your test range requirements.
