Inertial Roller Design

Typically we use solid rollers for inertial dynamometers, specially for Motorcycle dynamometers due to its extreme simplicity. They can be used for car dynamometers although the amount of steel to be removed to create longer axles (in order to connect each side roller) may be a bit high, which makes more time and money costly …

Load Cell Calibration

Calibration of loadcell, for dyno running with SportDevices SP1+, SP3, SP4, SP5 and SP6 DAQ units.Procedure may be different depending on how the dyno is constructed. In this description there is use “calibration bar” and “Calibration weight”.The purpose of calibrating the load cell is because the load cell normally is the most important factor in …

Ratio Calibration

Important: the software only uses the Roller Channel for all calculations related to the engine (Transformation from Roller Engine scale to Torque at Engine, and Calc RPM for Graph’s Engine RPM axis). This is done in this way for two reasons: because some engines cannot always provide Engine RPM readings, for instance diesel engines or …
