Lathe Tool Dynamometer

This is a strain Gauge Type two/three component Lathe Tool Dynamometer designed to measure vertical & horizontal/(radial force in case of three component) forces on tool during cutting process. The unit consists of a mechanical sensing unit or tool dynamometer, students can study the change in these forces due to change in speed, feed and depth of cut.

Technical Details

Mechanical Sensing Unit with Tool Holder and Tool with strain Gauges mounted on it.
• Digital Force Indicator - two/three channel, to read both forces simultaneously.
• Balancing Potentiometer for initial balancing
• Range - 0 to 200 Kg, least count - 1 Kg.

Range Of Experiment
  • The test rig enables to determine I.H.P. B.H.P., specific fuel consumption, Air fuel ratio volumetric efficiency and heat balance sheet at different loads and speeds.
