I'm fabricating a desktop motor dynamometer to characterize automotive seat gear-motors.
It's basically a 1" solid steel shaft with the gear motor at one end, a shaft encoder at the other end, with a torque transducer and a brake in the middle. The whole shooting match is suspended on 4 bearings, a pair on either side of the torque transducer. With flex and solid couplers at the "appropriate" places. All sitting on 6" heavy aluminum channel for rigidity.
The object is to be able to "dial...
