Prop-Shaft Dynamometer

Land
& Sea’s DYNOmite marine “prop-shaft” dynamometers are ideally suited to
testing outboards and stern-drives right on the boat. These lightweight dynos
simply mount in place of the propeller. Accurate, strain gauge torque readings
provide actual horsepower. Its integral computer calculates, displays, and stores
RPM, Hp, torque, time, etc.
“Provides prop-shaft Hp readings directly - without hydraulic look-up chart
‘guesstimating’.”

Standard dyno kit includes
13" toroidal flow water brake absorber, electronic torque arm
transducer, engine load control, DYNOmite LCD equipped handheld data
acquisition computer, AC power supply/recharger, prop-shaft mounting hardware,
data wiring harness, manual, stainless braided hoses (with anti-scratch
covering), and protective carrying case.
How
does it operate? The lightweight DYNOmite
absorber installs (like a prop) on most 50 Hp outboards through 502 ci stern
drives. During testing, you sweep the desired RPM range by adjusting its load
valve. This controls the water level inside the absorber - which changes its
rotor’s load (like having an adjustable RPM test tank wheel). The DYNOmite’s
computer records the resultant torque at the absorber’s housing (along with the
RPM) to calculate: Hp = Torque (in foot pounds) x RPM /
5,252.
DYNO-MAX
2000™ Software option creates a full
engine dynamometer lab console on your PC. Features include: real-time trace
graph display, EGT bar graph, inertia compensation, adjustable limit warnings,
pushbutton controls, and user configurable analog and digital gauge ranges. You
can even print color reports.
I ntegrate
your own PC by using DYNO-MAX 2000 with
appropriate Auto-Load Servo, or Electronic Throttle Control, hardware options
for keyboard dyno control. Without special programming you can easily create
self-running engine test or break-in cycles.
DYNOmite Data Acquisition Electronics
eliminate manual recording or estimating power from hydraulic
pressure conversion charts. The DYNOmite records true Hp, torque, RPM, elapsed
time, etc. (at up to 1,000 readings per second) while automatically applying SAE
correction factors for air temp, barometric pressure, and relative humidity.
Results display on the DYNOmite’s LCD and can be printed to an optional portable
ASCII parallel printer.
Patented
torque transducer technology is moment-arm
length independent. Requires no re-calibration (or corrections) for changes in
cavitation plate height. Waterproof strain gauge allows submerged lake or tank
testing. Pushbutton, semi-automatic offset for the zero calibration point is
also standard.
400+ Hp* capacity
with our standard 13" toroidal water brake absorber. Loads most marine engines
from your existing water supply.* (A dual stator absorber with Siamese-rotor
is available to test engines to 800+ Hp.)
Direct prop-shaft mounting
(by a single technician) on most BIA splines with included (or optional)
adapters. It is battery powered for outdoor yard or service call operation, so an
expensive shop ventilation system is not needed.
Precision
designed and manufactured for strength,
accuracy, and reliability. Each water absorption brake, torque arm, load-valve,
etc. is beautifully CNC machined from anodized aircraft billet aluminum and
heat-treated stainless steel. Even the fasteners are stainless, for maximum
submerged corrosion resistance.
Advanced standard features including:
“Smart Record™,” data dampening, spike filtering,
playback data averaging, atmospheric correction, auto-zeroing, instant
playback, and integral rev-limiter.
Used
by many OEM training centers and technical schools,
so many outboard and stern-drive technicians already know how to run (and prefer
using) a DYNOmite. Just owning the DYNOmite enhances your service department’s
technical image among potential employees and customers.
Cut
non-billable hours trying to isolate
intermittent problems. It is not just that troubleshooting time is often slashed
in half, your mechanics stay in the shop instead of out hauling boats around to
the lake! Customers that balk at paying for your on-water diagnostic time
willingly pay for dyno testing. With DYNO-MAX 2000 software, you can even
provide them with “before and after” Hp graphs and reports, documenting the
results of your service work.
Dynoing pays its own way
and you can typically charge a premium for dynamometer diagnostic work.
Besides being a great service tool, successful dealers find that just displaying
it in their service department helps them command the labor rates, shop wide,
that you need to operate profitably!
