Product Description

Magtrol’s SBB15 Signal Breakout Box is designed to assist in the monitoring of speed, torque, and index signals obtained from either a Magtrol dynamometer or torque transducer. The easy-to-use SBB15 is simply inserted in series between a Magtrol controller and any Magtrol dynamometer or torque transducer. Connections are made via D-Sub 15 signal cables.

Speed, torque, and index signals are outputted through BNC connectors to an oscilloscope or other DAQ instrumentation device. Switching to the external encoder will switch the Tach A, Tach B, and Index signals, while the Torque signal will still be passed through from the dynamometer or torque transducer. The SBB15 Signal Breakout Box is a convenient and reliable accessory that reduces the necessary wiring required for signal monitoring.

Features

  • Two D-Sub 15 Connectors: provides an in-line connection between a Magtrol DSP Controller and a dynamometer or a torque transducer
  • Four BNC Connectors: provides easy access to Tach A, Tach B, Torque, and Index signals for connecting to an oscilloscope or other data acquisition (DAQ) device
  • Sturdy Assembly: packaged in an extruded aluminum case with metal mounting flanges
  • An external encoder input is provided for connecting high resolution encoders
  • A slide switch allows switching between a torque transducer and an external encoder

                    [post_content] => DES Series Power Supplies are specially designed for the full range of Magtrol’s Eddy-current and Powder brake dynamometers with the design goal providing the best response time. The DES Series supplies are packaged in an industrial housing made of cast aluminum. This offers superior protection against radiated emissions in order to avoid any disruption of the surrounding electronics modules. This housing must be installed directly on the test bench, next to the brake, as close as possible.

The DES Series supplies can be controlled by digital signals and analog set point coming from peripheral electronics. The DSP7010 Dynamometer Controller has been designed to work with the DES Series.

Control

The Power supply can be switched ON by remote control. The STAND-BY signal enables the output current to be delivered. This excitation current is controlled by a set-point in the 0-10 V DC range. The nominal value of the excitation current is set by internal resistors. There are two discrete outputs for alarms (open collector). The first is the "Temperature Alarm". It will indicate if the cooling water of the Dynamometer or the inner temperature of the DES Series are out of limits. The second is the "Electrical Alarm". It occurs when an over current or a short circuit is detected. The output current is immediately turned OFF and latched while the General Alarm Relay is set under its Alarm position. A low state for 200 ms of the Stand-by signal resets the latch.

For applications with TANDEM dynanometers, the DES Series units also control the power supply of the electromagnetic clutch.

Supply Voltage

The main supply voltage of the DES Series is in the 115/230 VAC - 50/60 Hz range. No selection is required.

The DES 410 power supply features a galvanic insulation between the main circuit and the dynamometer power.

The DES 411 does not have galvanic separation. For safety reasons, the DES Series case has to be grounded and the use of a ground fault current circuit breaker is recommended.

                    [post_content] => If currents continuously reach above 20 amps, an external sensor must be used. Magtrol offers three different types of external shunts for use with Magtrol Power Analyzers. The HA Series shunt, designed for power cable hook-up utilizing 3/8-16 screws, has an insulating base and can be mounted on conductive surfaces. The LAB Series shunt also comes with an insulating base, along with thumb screws for the power leads and knurled nuts on the sensing terminals. The FL Series is a relatively small bus, bar-mounted shunt with large end blocks. The comparatively large end blocks and short spacing aid in cooling and allow the shunt to operate in more extreme environments. All shunts are calibrated on equipment with current certifications traceable to N.I.S.T.

                    [post_content] => Magtrol’s AMF Series Adjustable Motor Fixtures are used to secure small to medium-sized motors in place while running any test. These extremely versatile fixtures also enable easy motor centering for coupling to a Magtrol HD Series Hysteresis Dynamometer. (Couplings can be supplied upon request.) Various motor lengths are accommodated by either an attached T-slotted base plate or sliding base, depending on the model.

The AMF-1, -2 and -3 Fixtures feature one or two adjustable bridges, each fitted with a fluted knob clamp screw, to allow clamping anywhere along the axis of the motor. The adjustable bridge on the AMF-V Fixture incorporates a straight-line action clamp with a V-angle rubber padded clamp to maximize the mounting area.

To safeguard the motor, locking thumb screws provide protection against vibration and all motor-to-fixture contact surfaces are nylon padded for scratch-free clamping.

Use of the switch boxes facilitates quick and easy interfacing of multiple dynamometers without the necessity of disconnecting and reconnecting the brake and control cables. For Magtrol WB Eddy-current or PB Powder Brake Dynamometers, BOTH a 5500 AND a 5501 Switch Box are necessary. Magtrol HD or ED Hysteresis Dynamometers only require the 5500.
