Looking for motor testing houses

larkmore 17 years ago

Hello all. I'm looking to find companies in the United States that perform testing and evaluation on small brush-less DC motors. I'm talking about generating torque/speed curve profiles, dynamometer testing, winding resistance and inductance measurement, etc., not just "yeah Wally, it spins real purdy!" kind of testing. The motors I'm interested in testing are ~1/4HP or ~200 Watts and max unloaded RPM of ~10,000. So far searching on Google has only lead to a single reputable lead... I'd like to avoid having to get all the equipment myself since this is a one or two time testing and the equipment is too pricey to justify it. Thanks in advance!

I don't know these guys but you could ask:

If they can't do it they'll probably give you some phone numbers. Or ask these folks where they sell their dynamo testers to:

Have you looked at what is available in the radio control model aircraft market???? whole different ball game to industrial stuff and a fraction of the price, including controllers. Available from tiny to HUGE 3Kw++ power from 8.4 to 42V+ Plenty of test data too
