Service lube requirements for prony brake (Ag) applications In the early days of prony brake development, and for many years after, a specific lube was required by the manufacturer for use as a service lube. This lube was a synthetic product labeled RML405 or CM5X. As time went by and equipment got bigger and […]

Most dynamometers use water to aid in transferring heat, generated during an energy conversion from power to heat, or even used as the loading media. In the case of high-capacity mechanical friction prony brake dynamometers water is only used to control the operating temperature of the brake during dynamic load cycles. It must be understood […]
