Use of automotive powertrain dynamometers is widespread in the automotive industry for diagnostics, design, and testing

 

Automotive Powertrain Dynamometers

Typically, a powertrain dynamometers is used to test the power transfer between the engine and the drivetrain. In addition, it can be used to measure the torque generated by the motors. These devices are also used for diagnostics. There are two main types of dynamometers: chassis and engine dynos.

Automotive powertrain dynamometers devices help manufacturers to measure the torque and power of a vehicle. This helps them to make products of the best quality. These devices also improve the performance and safety of vehicles. In addition, these devices can reduce the cost of repairs and recalls. These devices are also used to test the components of a vehicle. These systems allow users to conduct high-speed data collection. These systems are increasingly being adopted by transportation regulatory agencies and original equipment manufacturers. These systems help to ensure that the vehicle's powertrain meets the required specifications.

The Global Automotive Powertrain Dynamometers Market was valued at US$ 275.4 Mn in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 384.5 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2021 and 2030.

The use of automotive powertrain dynamometers requires the proper installation of the device. These devices require a computer to be connected in order to record the torque and RPM. These units are capable of performing different types of tests, including torque, speed, and horsepower. These dynamometers are generally available in various horsepower ranges. They are also classified according to the type of absorption unit that is used. Some dynamometers are used to test electric motors, while others are used for engine testing. A variety of models are available, including dynamometers with CAN bus technology. A small engine AC motoring dynamometer is a highly compact dynamometer that can be operated vertically or in an upside-down position. This dynamometer can be used to test steady-state emissions cycles while avoiding issues associated with larger dynamometers. The dynamometer's capacity to generate high transient emissions is ideal for testing vehicles under problematic traffic conditions.

Some dynamometers are designed for acoustic work and EMC tests. These include a 20HP low-speed, high-torque dynamometer load brake package with a load cell that is ideal for loading the final drives on ATVs, golf carts, and lawnmowers.
