Universal Dynamometer
Product Code : LSK-FM-10474
Universal Dynamometer (SKU LSK-FM-10474) is the drive and measuring unit for the Modular Fluid Power range: it powers the pump or machine on each module and measures its speed, torque and shaft power. Mechanical and civil engineering departments use it for pump performance and hydraulic machines practicals. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the dynamometer rig and its drive-and-display unit at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells to colleges, contractors and distributors without middlemen.
Specifications
The electric dynamometer is an induction motor mounted in trunnions so that it reacts freely against a strain gauge load cell for torque, with an inductive sensor for shaft speed. A separate motor drive and display unit holds a variable-speed a.c. inverter drive and signal conditioning, and shows speed, torque and shaft power digitally.

Applications and Experiments for the Universal Dynamometer
Coupled to a pump module, the dynamometer sets the shaft speed and measures the mechanical power going in, so students can calculate efficiency and plot characteristic curves. These tests belong to fluid machinery and hydraulic machines labs in B.Tech/B.E. mechanical and civil engineering and to diploma mechanical courses.
- Centrifugal and axial flow pump performance at variable speed.
- Positive displacement (gear and piston) pump tests on the fluid power modules.
- Shaft power, torque and efficiency calculations from direct digital readings.
The unit runs from the mains and drives a rotating coupling, so operate it with guards in place and under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply comprises the electric dynamometer on its base plate with load cell, speed sensor and jaw-type coupling, and the motor drive and display unit that fits on the instrument frame of each Fluid Power module. The pump or machine modules themselves are separate items and are quoted individually.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one dynamometer or a complete fluid power laboratory, stating packing, delivery time and price for that scope. Buyers of test and measurement instruments in India can add the pump modules on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, which means it can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Contact the team through the contact page, shortlist items in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which modules does it drive?
It is designed for all the Fluid Power modules, including the Centrifugal Pump Module and Axial Flow Pump Module. Location points on the base plate give accurate, repeatable alignment onto each one.
How is torque measured?
The induction motor is trunnion-mounted, so its reaction turns against a strain gauge load cell. The drive unit converts this signal and shows torque, speed and shaft power on its digital display.
Why are there power outlets on the drive unit?
The rear outlets power the instruments supplied with the Fluid Power modules, which reduces the number of mains connections and gives a neater, safer bench layout.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer of this dynamometer assembly, which is built at its Saha, Ambala factory in India and quoted directly by the company.
