Magnetic Powder Dynamometer

Magnetic Powder Dynamometer play a pivotal role in assessing mechanical properties. These machines employ a rotor crafted from soft magnetic materials, filled with a specified amount of magnetic particles between the stator and rotor. In the absence of excitation current in the stator winding, the machine operates akin to no-load conditions as the rotor rotates with the motor.

Upon energizing the testing machine’s excitation winding with an excitation current, the magnetic particles facilitate torque transmission, transforming the machine into a load-bearing device. 

Top 3 Structure and Characteristics of Magnetic Powder Dynamometer

  • The rotor’s torque generates a corresponding reaction torque on the stator due to bearing support.
  • Sensing devices on the stator allow direct measurement of the tested motor’s torque.
  • Optical sensors on the testing machine’s rotor facilitate easy measurement of the motor’s rotational speed.
