🧭 Expanding Possibilities: Dyno Tech’s Patented PAU Series Pushes the Boundaries of Torque Testing

Dyno Tech Services is proud to introduce an expanded testing range for its patented Power Absorption Unit (PAU)—a breakthrough in low-RPM, high-torque performance.

Designed around the natural strengths of our water-cooled Prony brake architecture, this series now supports testing applications previously out of reach. Engineered for precision and versatility, the PAU handles unusually low speeds with uncompromising torque stability.

🔧 Key Capabilities

  • Speed Range: Starting at 0 RPM for ultra-low speed scenarios
  • Torque Capacity: Testing up to a staggering 10,000 lb/ft
  • Applications: Compatible with both static load and dynamic torque testing environments

🛠️ Available Configurations

To meet the needs of various industries and operational demands, the PAU is offered in three distinct configurations, each tailored for specialized testing scenarios.

This expansion marks a pivotal step forward in our commitment to serving the evolving needs of today’s equipment manufacturers and agricultural innovators.

DTAD x 533×318

Applications with braking force requirements up to 10,000 lb/ft at 0-75 rpm.

DTAS x 533×318

Applications with braking force requirements up to 6500 lb/ft at 150 rpm, decreasing to 4000 lb/ft at 350 rpm.

DTAF x 533×318

Applications requiring braking forces up to 4000 lb/ft at 500-1500 rpm.

🛠️ DTA Series Brakes – Engineered for Low-RPM, High-Torque Applications

Designed to match or be custom-engineered to your specific speed and torque requirements, the DTA Series uses a carefully balanced coefficient of friction to deliver precise and dependable performance across a speed range of 0–1500 RPM.

⚙️ Built for Precision Testing

Each Power Absorption Unit (PAU) is:

  • Fully cradled for stable operation
  • Equipped with either a static or reactionary torque arm for accurate torque measurement

🔥 Thermal Load Management

Dynamic testing converts mechanical energy from the prime mover into kinetic friction energy, which produces heat:

  • Cooling is essential to remove this energy, achieved via water flow
  • Water consumption scales proportionally with the thermal load of the test, ensuring reliable dissipation

🌾 Application Versatility

Whether your testing involves:

  • Static load application
  • Dynamic torque loading
  • Full-scale dynamometer performance testing

…the DTA Series delivers dependable results and exceptional thermal stability for low-RPM, high-torque scenarios.
