Magtrol’s 4 quadrant motorized dynamometers provides expanded testing flexibility over a typical braking dynamometer. With the ability to bring the motor under test (MUT) to synchronous RPM before beginning a test, repeatability is improved. Since the motor windings are at ambient temperature before starting a ramp test, wattage is more consistent. Custom Software is required in order meet the specific needs of each individual customer’s application. Since Magtrol’s TM series torque transducers are used between the dynamometer motor and the MUT, we are able to measure the friction and windage of the MUT.
Magtrol provides two systems with 4 quadrants.
– The AC Induction for your larger motors that require higher speed and larger torque.
– The Servo Motor system is for smaller and more precise tests that require slower speeds with finer accuracy.
