5502/5503 – Manual Dynamometer Switch Box
Product Description
Magtrol Models 5502 and 5503 are manually-operated switch boxes that permit the connection of up to three Magtrol Dynamometers to a single Dynamometer Controller. Use of the switch boxes facilitates quick and easy interfacing to multiple dynamometers without the need to disconnect and reconnect the brake and control cables. For Magtrol WB Eddy-current or PB Powder Brake Dynamometers, BOTH a 5502 AND a 5503 Switch Box are necessary. Magtrol HD or ED Hysteresis Dynamometers only require the 5502.

[post_content] => Hysteresis Brake Dynamometers (HD Series) are versatile and ideal for testing in the low to medium power range (maximum 14 kW intermittent duty). With a Hysteresis Braking system, the Dynamometers 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), by compressed air or by dedicated blower, depending on the model. All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ± 0.25% full scale — depending on size and system configuration.
Features
- 16 Standard Models with Maximum Torque from 2.5 oz·in to 500 lb·in (18 mN·m to 56.5 N·m)
- Hysteresis Braking System: Provides precise torque loading independent of shaft speed
- Motor Testing from No Load to Locked Rotor
- Accuracy: ±0.25% (Full Scale)
- Air Flow Sensor: For protection against overheating and operator error
- Standard Torque Units: English, Metric and SI
- Custom Dynamometers: for special torque and speed requirements
- Easy Calibration
The Hysteresis Braking System
All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers absorb power with a unique Hysteresis Braking System which provides frictionless torque loading independent of shaft speed. The Hysteresis Brake provides torque by the use of two basic components - a reticulated pole structure and a specialty steel rotor/shaft assembly - fitted together but not in physical contact. Until the pole structure is energized, the drag cup can spin freely on its shaft bearings. When a magnetizing force from the field coil is applied to the pole structure, the air gap becomes a flux field and the rotor is magnetically restrained, providing a braking action between the pole structure and rotor.
