Chassis Dynamometers
Our chassis dynamometers are available for both in-ground (pit) and above-ground configuration. They can be equipped with one or a combination of power absorbing units, including waterbrake, eddy current, and AC.
Phoenix chassis dynamometers are designed and manufactured using only the highest quality materials, components, and processes. From premium quality steel and hardware with a lifetime warranty, to precision machining and dynamic balancing, our products are built to last.
Automotive Chassis Dynamometers
Phoenix Dynamometer automotive chassis dynamometer range covers 2WD, 4WD, and AWD models. Standard features include heavy-duty steel frames, large serviceable pillow blocks, dynamically balanced and high-capacity roll sets with either a knurled finish or industrial coating, maintenance-free soft couplings, industrial-grade braking systems, and LightSpeed™ data acquisition and control software.
These features are combined with state-of-the-art options including water brake, air-cooled & water-cooled eddy current, and AC power absorbing units (PAU’s). Whether you require a cradle mount or top mount system, Phoenix Dynamometer has the knowledge and expertise to custom build from scratch or adapt any of our standard models to fit your exact testing needs.
