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.
ใช่. 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 นิวตันเมตร (EC0.1KB, EC0.1HB) ถึง 30 นิวตันเมตร (EC30KB) and speeds up to 30,000 รอบต่อนาที (เคบี ซีรีส์, air-cooled) หรือ 25,000 รอบต่อนาที (ซีรีย์เอชบี, 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, และ 30 Nm models.
เคบี (มาตรฐาน) series: accuracy ±0.5% full scale, ความเร็วสูงสุด 30,000 รอบต่อนาที (โมเดลขนาดเล็ก) down to 4,000 รอบต่อนาที (30 Nm model); most KB models are air-cooled, while the 5, 7.5 และ 15 Nm KB models are water-cooled. HB (ความแม่นยำสูง) series: accuracy ±0.2% full scale, maximum speed up to 25,000 RPM on most models, with air+water, น้ำ+โบลเวอร์ หรือ แอร์+โบลเวอร์ ระบายความร้อน ขึ้นอยู่กับขนาด. 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, stepper motors, เซอร์โวมอเตอร์, and any motor where zero-speed or low-speed torque measurement is required. They are particularly suited for servo motor evaluation (bandwidth, แรงบิดฟันเฟือง, speed ripple) and for any motor requiring testing from free-run to locked rotor in a single setup.
Cooling varies by model. เคบี ซีรีส์: air cooling on most models; the EC5KB, EC7.5KB and EC15KB are water-cooled. ซีรีย์เอชบี: 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, locked rotor, breakdown), speed testing, power and efficiency, อุณหภูมิที่เพิ่มขึ้น, การสั่นสะเทือนและเสียงรบกวน, load characteristics, cogging torque and torque ripple, ความจุเกินพิกัด, 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.
