TM, TMHS & TMB In-Line Transducers

Magtrol's In-Line Torque Transducers deliver precise
torque and speed measurement over a very broad
range. Each model has an integrated conditioning
electronic module providing 0 to 10 VDC torque
output and an open collector speed output. All TM
In-Line Transducers employ Magtrols unique noncontact differential transformer torque measuring
technology which makes them very reliable, providing
high overload protection, excellent long-term stability
and high noise immunity.

TF Torque Flange Sensors

Based on strain-gauge technology, the TF Sensors
precise telemetry system enables highly accurate
signal transmission between its measuring flange, HF
transmitter and receiver/conditioner. With a compact,
bearingless, maintenance-free design, the TF Torque
Flange Sensor brings many appealing advantages to
torque measurement applicationsmost notably, the
TFs insusceptibility to signal interference, axial and
radial misalignment, noise and shocks. Another key
benefit is the sensors high rigidity which supports
direct mounting on the machine shaft or flange,
avoiding the use of couplings on one side.

Dynamometer

HYSTERESIS DYNAMOMETERS
Maximum Torque Range

Model

Magtrol offers three types of

dynamometer brakes to absorb
load: Hysteresis, Eddy-Current
and Magnetic Powder. Each
type of Dynamometer has
advantages and limitations and
choosing the correct one will depend
largely on the type of testing to be
performed. Magtrol sales professionals are
readily available to assist in selecting the proper
dynamometer to meet your testing needs.

Hysteresis Brake Dynamometers

Magtrol
HD-400
Dynamometer
shown with
Adjustable Motor
Fixture, Coupling
and DC Motor

HD

Hysteresis Brake Dynamometers (HD series) are versatile and ideal

for testing in the low to middle power range (max. 14 kW intermittent
duty). Hysteresis Brakes do not require speed to create torque, and
therefore can provide a full motor ramp from free-run to locked rotor.
Brake cooling is provided by convection (no external source) or by
air (compressed air or dedicated blower) depending on the model.
Hysteresis Dynamometers have both continuous and intermittent
power ratings where the dynamometer is capable of dissipating more
power for shorter periods of time. All Hysteresis Dynamometers have
accuracy ratings of 0.25% to 0.5% full scale, depending on size
and system configuration. Also available are special designs for small
engine and high-speed motor testing.

Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers WB

Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers (WB series) are ideal for applications
requiring high speeds and also when operating in the middle to high
power range. Eddy-Current Brakes provide increasing torque as the speed
increases, reaching peak torque at rated speed. The Dynamometers have
low inertia as a result of small rotor diameter. Brake cooling is provided by
a water circulation system, which passes inside the stator to dissipate heat
generated by the braking power. The water cooling in the WB provides
high continuous power ratings (max. 140 kW). The WB Dynamometers
have typical accuracy ratings of 0.3% to 0.5% full scale (2% for WB
2.7), depending on size and system configuration.

Powder Brake Dynamometers

PB

Powder Brake Dynamometers (PB series) are ideal for applications

operating in the low to middle speed range or when operating in the
middle to high torque range. Like Hysteresis Brakes, Powder Brakes
provide full torque at zero speed. Like the Eddy-Current Brake
Dynamometers, the PB series is water-cooled, allowing for power
ratings up to 48 kW. The PB Dynamometers have typical accuracy
ratings of 0.3% to 0.5% full scale (2% for PB 2.7), depending on
size and system configuration.

Tandem Dynamometer

Magtrol offers Eddy-Current and Powder Dynamometers mounted in

tandem. In tandem, the unique features of each type of dynamometer
brake are utilized, allowing nominal braking torque to be applied to
the unit under test from zero speed to maximum rotation. The Tandem
Dynamometers are available on a number of PB/WB combinations.

With over 50 years experience in dynamometer design and torque measurement, Magtrol
has revolutionized the industry once again. Magtrols new Micro Dyne, capable of
measuring extremely low torques (2.0 mNm can be resolved to 0.0004mNm), is designed
exclusively for testing miniature and micro (low-torque) motors.
For the utmost convenience, the Micro Dyne is packaged as a COMPLETE MOTOR
TESTING SYSTEM. Everything that is needed to accurately and efficiently test miniature
motors and micro motors is included with the purchase of a Magtrol Micro Dyne. The
only component that needs to be supplied by the customer is a laptop or desktop personal
computer and motor power supply.

AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes

When torque control/torque measurement
must be performed at the highest possible
power, Magtrol AHB Series Hysteresis
Brakes are ideal. Passages running through
the brakes enables compressed air cooling,
providing excellent heat dissipation. This
design allows for continuous power ratings
up to 3000 watts (5300 watts intermittent).
Use of pre-loaded bearings in the AHB
Series Hysteresis Brakes allows operation
at speeds of up to 25,000 rpm for extended
durations.

Basic Torque Measurement System

A cost-effective, basic motor test rig can be easily configured by mounting one or two
AHB Series Compressed-air-cooled Hysteresis Brakes onto a PT 25 Grooved Base Plate
with a TM Series In-Line Torque Transducer and couplings (as shown in the photo above).
Adding a FR10 Free-Run Speed Sensor, 3410 Torque Display or DSP6001 Controller
greatly expands the systems motor testing capabilities. Other accessories available from
Magtrol include: adjustable motor fixtures, power supplies, air filters, pressure gauge kits,
air lines, pipe fittings, jack shafts and risers.
