EDDY CURRENT DYNAMOMETER FOR FARM MACHINERY ENGINE TESTING

An eddy current dynamometer is widely used in farm machinery engine testing centers for evaluating engine performance and efficiency under controlled conditions. Its key applications include:

Primary Uses in Engine Testing:

  1. Power and Torque Measurement – It accurately measures engine power output and torque characteristics at different loads, helping assess performance.
  2. Efficiency Testing – By analyzing fuel consumption and engine output, it aids in optimizing efficiency and reducing operational costs in agricultural machinery.
  3. Durability & Endurance Testing – Engines are subjected to prolonged testing to ensure reliability and durability under varying farm conditions.
  4. Emission Analysis – Helps in evaluating emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
  5. Load Simulation – It creates realistic working conditions by applying different loads to the engine, simulating field operations like plowing or harvesting.
  6. Calibration & Fine-Tuning – Assists in calibrating fuel injection systems, air intake, and other parameters for optimal engine performance.
  7. Comparative Testing – Enables comparisons between different engine models or configurations to identify the best option for specific farming needs.

Eddy Current Dynamometers Are Ideal, for:

  • High Accuracy: Provides precise and consistent measurements.
  • Non-Contact Load Application: Uses electromagnetic forces to apply load without mechanical friction, reducing wear.
  • Quick Response Time: Instant load adjustment allows dynamic performance evaluations.

EDDY CURRENT DYNAMOMETER

The dry gap computer compatible AG series SAJ Dynamometers offer wide range of Eddy current machines having capacities from 5kW to 720 kW for testing engine for Agricultural equipment, Commercial Transport Vehicles, Marine Engine and/or other special purpose engines. The precision strain gauge load cell torque measurement system provides high accuracy torque measurement for exacting test development applications. The rugged design of the power absorbing system ensures a long working life, even in the most demanding production and endurance testing environments. This long life is further enhanced by the electroless nickel plating of critical components in contact with the cooling water.
