Electric Motor Performance Testing

TOOLS TO HELP THE ROUTE BASE PROGRAM

Performance testing is highly important to motor manufacturers in order to ensure that their motors – no matter the size – will operate according to documented manufactured specifications. Test programs must provide results on motor performance data from stall to no-load and many other parameters. These results need to include torque, speed, current, voltage and much more.

At MDS, Inc. we have the test equipment to provide the answers that you are looking for within your electrical proof testing requirements. MDS, Inc. has partnered with MEA because of their highly quality line of performance testing products. MEA are a globally known producer of innovating motor testing equipment and measurement products, which include: Inertial dynamometers, Hysteresis brake dynamometers, Regenerative dynamometers, Motor testers and Application testers (Cogging torque, Temperature rise, Stepping motor, Gear motor tester, Fan tester, Compressor, Pump), Automotive (Wiper motor tester, Gear motor tester, Mathematical modeling, Starter motor tester, etc.), Analyzers (FFT and Motion), Predictive Maintenance, stroboscope, and more.

We feel that this partnership is exceedingly strong and can provide sophisticated solutions to unusual problems within the motor industry. MEA has the capacity to provide elegant and if needed customized solutions to a wide range of industries. They specialize in answering the tough questions with innovative instrumentation that exceeds expectations.
