“Why Cutting Corners in Motor Testing leads to Costly Consequences”
Accurately measuring torque, speed, and other motor characteristics is critical for performance validation, quality assurance, and R&D. While dynamometers remain the gold standard for precision, some opt for a component-based approach—integrating hysteresis brakes, current sources, and sensors—to reduce costs. However, this method introduces significant risks that can compromise data integrity, safety, and long-term reliability. Here’s…
