Model 2000 Friction Standards Dynamometer
Overview
The Model 2000 Friction Standards Dynamometer (Model 2000) is designed specifically to conduct the most commonly run global test procedures for development of hydraulically actuated brake calipers, friction materials, drums and rotors for passenger vehicles and light trucks. Its compact layout efficiently and economically allows evaluation of brake friction development, design and quality control.
The Model 2000 incorporates the latest technology, software, controls and proven components, which result in low maintenance. It is an excellent value at an affordable price point, and comes with the added benefit of having a short lead-time for fast delivery, while saving time and cost for installation.
The controls enable close correlation with existing test protocols. The ProLINK software package offers manual operator control, or fully automatic unattended operation. The operator can select test parameters, control modes, display data, monitor test functions and execute desired test sequences.
