Universal Dynamometer — MOE Lab Tender Details

Universal Dynamometer

Provides motive power with speed, torque and power measurements for the Modular Fluid Power range, can connect to a Versatile Data Acquisition System

Specifications
Trunnion-mounted induction motor, to allow it to move freely against a strain gauge load cell, to measure shaft torque
An inductive sensor to measure the shaft speed
Fundamental calculation of Shaft Power from the speed and torque readings
Jaw-type coupling to allow direct connection to Fluid Power machines
no need to fit or adjust the tension of belts and pulleys
Coupling includes a rubber element to reduce coupling noise transmission & allows for minor misalignment
The motor drive and display unit contains a variable-speed ac inverter drive and includes signal conditioning
Digitally display of speed, torque and shaft power
Outlets on the back of the unit give power for instruments supplied with the Fluid Power modules
The control and instrumentation unit includes a socket to link it to an optional Versatile Data Acquisition System
Hardware Key to plug into the bottom of the Motor Drive and Display unit
To program the Motor Drive to turn the dynamometer the correct way for the module.
To limits the maximum speed to match the best performance of the pumps and fans that it drives on each module
Prevents over-speeding of the module
Improves the safety and life span of the modules
Interlocks to the Motor Drive to prevent operation if the user has to change part of their fluid power machine for more experiments and tests
Torque measurement (in Nm): Load cell and digital display
Speed measurement (in rev.min–1): Inductive sensor and digital display
Shaft power measurement (in Watts): 1.5 kW. Fundamental calculation from the speed and torque readings
