Vertical-Horizontal Small Engine/Small Motor Test Stands

The choice of test facilities and small engine/motor manufacturers worldwide

Vertical-Horizontal small engine dyno tilt stand for testing engines or motors up to 75 horsepowerVirtually any size Midwest or Dynamatic dynamometer can be configured vertically or horizontally (see Dynamometers > Eddy Current > Midwest or Dynamatic > Technical Specs ). However, to accomodate testing of small engines and motors with both vertical and horizontal shaft orientations, DyneSystems provides a compact small engine dynamometer “tilt stand” that locks in the horizontal or vertical positions, with fixtures for mounting and coupling both styles of engines or motors during test. These units can be configured with an AC (motoring and absorbing) dynamometer or an Eddy Current (absorbing) dynamometer, depending on the application. This two-position tilt stand is rated for 3 to 75 hp, and can be configured with one of several Midwest, Dynamatic or Dymond Series AC dynamometer models.

Portable tilt stand rated for fractional to 40hp locks into multiple positions

Portable small engine tilt stand is rated for fractional to 40 horsepower and locks into multiple positionsThe portable cart at right is rated for fractional horsepower to 40 hp engines and motors, can be moved easily between test cells and locks into positions that simulate real-life usage. For example, weed-whackers and chainsaws are held at an angle during use, and that angle can be duplicated with this test stand.

Integration and Control

When these dynamometers are integrated with other devices, test systems can include DyneSystems digital dynamometer and throttle control, data acquisition, test automation, and emissions analysis. Additional components from other suppliers which can be integrated include air measurement, fuel measurement, and combustion analysis systems.
