Watertight Propeller Dynamometers

These model propulsion shaft line dynamometers are designed for measuring the thrust and torque of model propellers.

Description

These model propulsion shaft line dynamometers are designed for measuring the thrust and torque of model propellers.

Watertight propeller dynamometers are suitable for: 

  • inner drive dynamometers in flooded surface vessels models;
  • underwater models mounted in the measuring section of a cavitation tunnel;
  • underwater model propulsion tests in towing tanks. 

Our propeller dynamometers use precision produced integrated thrust and torque measuring load-cell to our own designs that mechanical eliminate cross-talk, these are gauged by our highly skilled and experienced technicians. 

The load-cells are fitted and configured with full bridge strain gauges which allow a high precision measurement of the strain in the required force.

Product features

  • Water and pressure tight
  • Measurement of torque, thrust and speed
  • High accuracy compliant with ITTC guidelines 
  • Low-noise versions available
  • Accessories and drive systems available
