A Safe Load Indicator (SLI) or an Automatic Safe Load Indicator (ASLI) is a device which is installed on mobile or portal cranes to alert the operator if the lift is exceeding the safe operating range of the machinery. [1] In some cases, the device will physically lock the machinery in circumstances it determines to be unsafe.
Prony brake dynamometers at a tractor contest in 1910 Schematic of a Prony brake Actual Prony Brake built for testing 5HP Steam Engine. The Prony brake is a simple device invented by Gaspard de Prony in 1821 to measure the torque produced by an engine. The term "brake horsepower" is one measurement of power derived from this method of measuring ...
A 'brake' dynamometer applies variable load on the prime mover (PM) and measures the PM's ability to move or hold the RPM as related to the "braking force" applied. It is usually connected to a computer that records applied braking torque and calculates engine power output based on information from a "load cell" or "strain gauge" and a speed ...
Single Point load cells; used in small to medium platform scales with platform sizes of 200x200mm up to 1200x1200 mm. Planar Beam load cells; used in low profile solutions where space is limited, like medical scales and retail scales. Bending Beam load cells; used in pallet, platform and small hopper scales.
An example of an electrical force gauge is an "electronic scale". One or more electrical load cells (commonly referred to as "weigh bars") are used to support a vertical or horizontal "live load" and are solid-state potentiometers which have variable internal resistance proportional to the load they are subjected to and deflected by.
A chassis dynamometer, informally referred to as a rolling road [1] or a dyno, is a mechanical device that uses one or more fixed roller assemblies to simulate different road conditions within a controlled environment, and is used for a wide variety of vehicle testing and development purposes.
