ABSTRACT:
A dynamometer particularly suited for rapid testing of internal combustion engines coming off an engine assembly line wherein a driving connection is established from a flexible drive plate on the engine crankshaft to the dynamometer input shaft by means of an adapter which includes a conventional friction disc sub-assembly of an automobile manual transmission clutch to absorb excessive torque pulses of the engine and a thrust bearing mounted on the dynamometer input shaft between a collar keyed to the dynamometer input shaft and the dynamometer housing, so that no axial thrust loads are applied to the dynamometer input shaft.
