For Immediate Release:
Twinsburg, Ohio, July 27, 2022: Mustang Advanced Engineering (MAE), an American manufacturer of quality, industry-leading, testing equipment, dynamometers and related products, recently completed the installation of a specialty chassis dynamometer at Metalcraft of Mayville, in Mayville, Wisconsin. SCAG Power Equipment, a division of Metalcraft which manufactures both electric and gas powered zero-turn lawn mowers requested a custom designed dynamometer for both end-of-line testing and for research and development of their products. As the industry sees an increase in the need for electric power equipment, Metalcraft contacted Mustang for the specially designed chassis dynamometer.
The dyno uses two eddy current power absorber units (PAU’s) with a 1:1 roller to PAU ratio. Most of the mowers being tested will produce low horsepower, for example approximately 12 HP, yet with higher amounts of torque. Zero turn mowers have independently controlled, bi-directional drive wheels hence the need for two PAU’s.
“MAE has the expertise in designing and manufacturing any testing equipment to meet our customers’ requirements,” said David Ganzhorn, VP of Sales. He continued, “for Metalcraft of Mayville, MAE delivered real world testing of their power equipment without the grass.”
About the dynamometer system:
- Low maintenance, above ground installation, safe & easy to operate
- Precise load control with accurate road load simulation and repeatability
- (2) Air-cooled eddy current PAU’s provide bi-directional loading of both drive wheels
