MD-1000

MD-1000 – The industry standard for tandem-axle heavy duty truck Chassis Dynamometers

The MD-1000 Series heavy duty truck dynamometer has a standard peak horsepower measurement capacity of 2,000 hp, enough to handle most standard trucks, including tandem axle Class Eight tractors, as well as buses, class 6 delivery vehicles, pick-up trucks and refuse trucks. MD-1000’s are used at truck manufacturing plants around the world for quality testing at the end of the production line and they are also used for most government mandated smog testing programs. Repair shops have used the MD-1000 for diagnosing problems. The standard MD-1000 includes two large MDK-400 air-cooled eddy current power absorbers that give the 1000 the ability to absorb up to 1,200-hp intermittently. Additional power absorbing units are available to increase the loading capabilities of the MD-1000. In fact, the MD-1000 is available in multiple design configurations to meet virtually every possible testing scenario and to cover the vast majority of heavy duty vehicles including AWD trucks. Other features include a rugged, unitary frame and flexible tandem axle spacing. The precision machined rollers mean you can conduct sustained tests at highway speeds. With Mustang’s sophisticated software, you can design a wide range of tests. Additional options available include PAU cooling fans to help keep the air-cooled PAU’s cool, additional axle sets, variable speed engine cooling fans, and integrated diesel opacity meters.
