Measuring torque on an engine test stand

It is not just the acquisition of the mechanical torque variables, it is also the integration into a mechanical overall system that are crucial. The overall view determines system suitability in performance test stands.

Over the last few years, the continued development of internal combustion engines has moved to a range in which the measurable difference is getting smaller and smaller. This development is also reflected in the development of measuring instruments, where the actual measurement accuracy is always an interaction of several components, even those that do not have an obvious immediate effect on the torque measurement chain.
