What is a Chassis Dyno, and what makes Mustang Dynos so special?
The term dynamometer is commonly defined as – “an instrument for measuring mechanical force”, with force being commonly defined as – “any external agent that causes a change in the motion of a free body, or that causes stress in a fixed body”. In the case of the chassis dyno, the purpose at hand is to measure the rotational force of the driven wheels mounted to the vehicle under test. This is typically achieved via a series of rollers - which when coupled to a vehicle’s tires resembles a toothless gear arrangement. In many cases, an absorption device is incorporated into the roller arrangement so as to allow for “steady state” testing.
It's true that any chassis dyno can spin your wheels and do some calculations, but only a Mustang dyno can give you a real world simulation every time. Our patented control system uses eddy current power absorbers to load a vehicle exactly the way it would be loaded on the street -- including wind resistance, which is a significant factor in high-speed testing. Mustang dynos also feature a load cell to measure the power being applied to the rolls. Without going into a lot of theory, a Mustang dyno gives you a real world tune, every time.
What other kind of Dynamometers does Mustang make?
Mustang manufactures all kinds of dynos. Besides our famous loading chassis dynos, we make: engine dynos, transmission dynos, tow dynos, axle dynos, inertia dynos, bus dynos, truck dynos, kart and ATV dynos, motorcycle dynos, OBD dynos, and many others. The old rule in the manufacturing industry goes - "If it turns, it needs to be tested". Mustang's response to this rule is - "If it turns, Mustang can test it!".
How long has Mustang Dynamometer been manufacturing Dynos?
Mustang has been in the dynamometer business for 30 years. It's our commitment to service and the customer's needs that has allowed us to be an industry leader since our inception. Our never-ending quest for innovation and new technology gives us the most advanced product on the market today.
