CLIMATE CHAMBER DYNAMOMETER

A special dynamometer system has been developed which in one machine incorporates the capability of two or more dynamometer systems by permitting accurate testing of motor vehicles within an inertia range of 1500 to 7500 lb equivalent vehicle mass, with tractive efforts up to 10,000N. The unique load measurement system incorporating load platforms which measure tractive effort at the vehicle wheels, permits accurate simulation over this very wide range.
