Hydraulic DynamometersOne type of dynamometer is the hydraulic dynamometer. This type uses a hydraulic system to measure the force or torque exerted on an object. The hydraulic system is filled with oil, which is used to transfer the force or torque from the object to the measuring device. This type of dynamometer is accurate and can measure high forces or torques, but it is expensive and bulky. |
| Electric DynamometersAnother type of dynamometer is the electric dynamometer. This type uses a small electric motor to create a rotational force or torque. The electric dynamometer is less expensive and more compact than the hydraulic dynamometer, but it is less accurate and can only measure low forces or torques. |
| Pneumatic DynamometersFinally, there is the pneumatic dynamometer. This type uses compressed air to measure the force or torque exerted on an object. It is less accurate than either the hydraulic or electric dynamometers, but it is also less expensive and more compact than either of those types. |
