Transducer Cersus Dynometer.. ? Which to Choose

10/29/2008 8:12 AM

Hello all,

Thanks to those who have helped me in the past.

I have another situation on my hands and need one thing clearing up in order for me to make any progress.

I need to know what the fundamental differences between a dyno and torque transducer are, when should one be used in favour of another etc etc..?If someone could point me in the riht direction of a decent website that can elaborate on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

scott

Dynos measure torque and speed, whereas torque transducers measure only torque.

Power = Torque X Speed

Many torque meters I have seen are merely load cells mounted on a lever. Precise measurement of the lever is required to extrapolate torque. If there is any chance of variation in the lever length due to machine vibration or erratic torque, expect your results to vary significantly.
