Absorption
Dynamometers
The need
for a lightweight, compact, inexpensive absorption dynamometer for aircraft
accessory gear box testing led to the development of the Hydra-Brake®.
The excellent performance of these units was soon established and subsequently
created a demand for them in the broad field of testing engines, turbines
and other rotating equipment.
 This website
will enable you to learn more about Hydra-Brake®,
its principles of operation, major features, how to size units, and other
topics. Even though Hydra-Brake®
is simple in construction, correct design parameters must be followed.
Therefore, we encourage you to contact us with your requirements and we
will be happy to assist you with identifying an existing model or designing
a custom unit for your application.
