CM5-X MSDS Information

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 […]

Prony Brake Dynamometer

Coefficient of Friction and Prony Brake Dynamometers written by Aaron Warsaw  This composite was compiled using my 50+ years of experience in the field of ‘Tribology” as related to the study of friction, friction brakes, and frictional Prony brake dynamometers. My background includes working with multiple friction brakes which are used in a wide variety […]

Cooling of radial force prony brake PTO dynamometers

 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 […]
