Why do I need an eddy brake power absorber on my AutoDyn?
An eddy brake provides the means to load a vehicle during tests. As vehicles become more sophisticated, inertia-only testing masks more problems than it reveals. With today’s computer-controlled vehicles, you need to be able to test a vehicle for drive ability, meaning, you need to provide a load. Another advantage of the eddy brake is its ability to hold a steady speed while testing. This makes fuel injection mapping easier and faster. The AutoDyn uses a load cell to measure actual torque produced during a test, and our WinDyn® software can display horsepower and torque readings during a test even under steady load.
