Military Chassis Dynamometers

Mustang Advanced Engineering (MAE) has been a leading provider of comprehensive testing solutions for the development and testing of military engines, powertrain systems and complete military vehicles since its founding in 1975.  MAE has long been known as a trusted source of expertise in measurement and testing technologies for military applications.  World-class product offerings, custom design support and technical assistance, all backed by a dedicated factory customer service team has positioned MAE among the world leaders in providing advanced testing solutions for military applications.

MAE has designed and built some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated chassis dynamometers for testing multi-axle all-terrain military vehicles. Much more than the typical dynamometer manufacturer, MAE has slowly and steadily grown into a highly-diversified, vertically integrated, technology-based engineering firm with world-class design, manufacturing, software, controls, and integration capabilities that position Mustang as a very unique supplier to the industry.  In addition to a team of experienced software engineers, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers who develop all of the company’s products and systems in-house, Mustang’s versatility and speed are its best strengths.

MAE has designed and built some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated heavy-duty chassis dynamometers for testing multi-axle all-terrain military vehicles. The MAE-MRAP-EOL-4000 series is designed to carry out testing for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles with drive axles ranging from one to five, including 10×10, 8×8, 6×6, 6×4, 6×2, 4×4, and 4×2 configurations.

The system features roll sets that can all be operated independent of one another, cross-coupled, and configured to follow the feedback or command of any roll in the system. The system performs chassis dynamometer performance/functionality tests and ABS brake testing (optional) in a single position. The dyne provides axle weight capacity of 35,000 lbs. (15,875 kg), and the maximum wheel speed can be up to an impressive 100 mph (160 kph).

Configurations:

  • One (1) axle
  • Two (2) axle
  • Three (3) axle
  • Four (4) axle
  • Five (5) axle
  • Custom track widths
  • Custom wheelbase accommodations

The MAE control system accommodates many different types of power absorbers:

  • AC motors
  • DC motors
  • Water brakes
  • Hydraulic shear brakes
  • Eddy current power absorbers
