Hysteresis/ Hysteresis Brake Dynamometer

The benefit of Hysteresis Dynamometers

一个 Hysteresis 测功机 is a testing device used to measure torque, 速度, and power of electric motors, including AC, DC, BLDC, and stepper motors. It is widely used in motor performance evaluation and research.

When selecting a dynamometer for motor testing, it’s essential to understand that the measurements of load characteristics and torque ripple/cogging torque characteristics are different. A single type of torque sensor may not provide accurate results for both, as the measurement requirements vary significantly. 例如, a Hysteresis Braking system allows dynamometers to generate torque without requiring speed, enabling full motor testing from free-run to locked rotor. Cooling is provided by either air, or in some cases, a blower and liquid cooling system, depending on the test needs.

Key Features of Hysteresis Dynamometers:

Accuracy: Hysteresis Dynamometers offer precise measurements with an accuracy of ±0.25% full scale, depending on the size and system configuration.
扭矩: They are designed to measure and provide torque at various points, including rated torque, locked rotor torque, and breakdown torque.
Speed and Power Ratings: Dynamometers are rated for maximum torque, 速度, 和力量. The speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which the dynamometer can operate safely under light load or free-run conditions. 然而, this is not the speed at which full braking torque can be applied.

Testing Principle

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