Low Speed Dynamometers



Order Catalog

Description

The revolutionary design of Froude Low Speed (LS) dynamometers improves compactness and serviceability over the older more conventional large dynamometers.

The LS casing is carried on three spherically pivoted struts which incorporate load cells and hydraulic positioning rams, allowing the dynamometer to be quickly and easily coupled directly to the engine. This mechanism eliminates the need for an expensive intermediate drive shaft. As the dynamometer is free to follow the engine, there is reduced axial thrust; hence no special thrust bearing requirements. The lack of conventional trunnion bearings means the associated problem of brinelling due to transmission of engine vibration, has been totally eliminated.
