New Eddy-Current Dynamometers Designed for High-Speed Applications!

MAGTROL IS PROUD TO INTRODUCE TWO NEW EDDY-CURRENT DYNAMOMETERS, DESIGNED TO TEST HIGH-VELOCITY MOTORS AND DRIVE SYSTEMS UP TO 80 000 rpm. THESE HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND LATEST-GENERATION DYNAMOMETERS OFFER RELIABLE PERFORMANCE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF HIGH-SPEED APPLICATIONS.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Torque: 400 mN·m / 800 mN·m
  • Speed: up to 80 000 rpm
  • Power: 0.5 kW / 1 kW
  • Accuracy: ± 0.5 %
  • Low Moment of Inertia
  • Stable & smooth Braking Torque
  • Built-In Electronics with Torque & Speed Measurement & Excitation
  • For demanding test conditions
  • Compact, all-in-one design
  • Available as system (with protection, base plate, mounting, etc.)

Based on its experience with very high-speed dynamometers (≥ 300 000 rpm), MAGTROL releases two new models to complete its WB Series Dynamometer range. The 1WB32 and 2WB32 Eddy-Current Dynamometers are designed to test high-speed motors and drive systems ≤ 80 000 rpm.

This advanced equipment offers nominal braking torque of 400 mN·m (1 WB 32) and 800 mN·m (2 WB 32). Each system integrates a speed measurement capability with 4 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution) and features a precision RT 200 – Reaction Torque Sensor with a measurement accuracy of ± 0.5 % full scale. An internal water-cooling circuit enables continuous power dissipation of up to 500 W (1 WB 32) and 1 kW (2 WB 32), ensuring stable performance during demanding test conditions.

Connected to the DSP 7010 Series – Dynamometer Controller, these dynamometers are fully compatible with Magtrol’s M-TEST Software (LabVIEW™-based), allowing for seamless configuration, data acquisition, and test automation.

To support a complete testing solution, optional accessories such as fixtures, protective covers, and high-speed couplings are available, making the WB 32 Series a turnkey system tailored for advanced motor testing needs.

The WB 32 Series expands Magtrol’s high-speed testing portfolio, complementing the WB 23 & WB 27 models, which support testing ≤ 100 000 rpm, and the MSD – Mega Speed Dynamometer, engineered specifically for testing dental and surgical tools up to 300 000 rpm.

These latest developments highlight Magtrol’s expertise in motor testing technology and solutions, from 1 W to larger systems reaching up to 140 kW.
