+ ADVANTAGES

• Inertial measurement mode

Testing Superflow dyno with a SupraThe Superflow AutoDynTM 30 AWD dynamometer features 30-inch rollers that rely on eddy current load cells for both the front and rear rollers. This dynamometer can be mounted in ground or above ground (as this example shows.) Of the roller type dynamometers tested, the Superflow is the only one to feature a driveshaft that links the front and rear rollers. This also means that both front and rear rollers turn regardless of the driveline being tested (AWD, RWD, FWD). Engine speed can be calculated using an inductive pickup or Superflow’s optical wheel tachometer. The Superflow’s Sensor Box can log up to 139 channels and samples at 1,000 hertz. The AutoDynTM 30 AWD real-time weather station monitors barometric pressure, air temperature and humidity.
