ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a load testing apparatus comprising disks, a rotary shaft connectable with a machine to be tested, disk brakes for braking the disks, and a detector adapted to indicate the amount of load applied to the machine to be tested by detecting the rotational force under pressure with interposition of the supporting members of the disk brakes at the time of braking, thereby enabling to test the characteristics and durability of engines, motors, agricultural machines, decelerators, transmissions, clutches, torque converters, chains, belts, couplings, compressed air or hydraulic motors and the like, as well as to conduct an exhaust gas test and power test of vehicles, particularly enabling to detect the output horsepower applied to the machine to be tested from the rotational force and the number of rotations per minute.
Futhermore, the load testing apparatus according to invention is characterized in that it enables to conduct a test starting from zero rotational frequency; it has stabilized properties capable of standing the application of continuous load; the load can be optionally adjusted or varied with simplicity; high torque is applicable at low-speed rotation; and it can be designed compactly.
