dynamometer

Moreover, it allows performing both isometric and isokinetic testing and despite the fact that no action in real life occurs at constant velocity, isokinetic testing provides a more natural movement condition due to its dynamic nature, whereby a maximal torque can be generated throughout the whole ROM.6 However, its elevated cost limits its widespread use in clinical practice.7 Hand-held dynamometers (HHDs) are usually used for strength assessment.

Dynamometers that are used for grip strength measurement are typically classified as hydraulic, bulb (vigorimeters), spring, and electronic.

These include engine dynamometers, environmental chambers, crash laboratory and advanced emissions chassis dynamometers.

Modern four wheel chassis dynamometers are furnished with brakes for fluent resistance generation, which enables tests in static and dynamic conditions.

Although dynamometers were available, they only measured the force required to move a load.

So taken was he with the mechanics of power, the mechanically inclined and industrious Bergeron began building his own horsepower measuring equipment, or "dynamometers" in his attic, simply because he could not afford to purchase a commercial model.

The MicroDyne series of small motoring dynamometers is ideal for a wide range of automotive, military, and aerospace testing applications--capable of testing all types of small rotary devices such as motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and more.
