Automated load control is available with the optional electronic auto-load servo (high or ultra-flow) control valve. It
replaces the standard manual-load control unit. Just push the buttons to select the operating RPM, or set a sweep rate
and allow the DYNOmite’s advanced PID algorithms to run the whole test. The computer logs all data automatically.
(Simultaneous electronic throttle control, via DYNO-MAX, is also an available option.)
Advanced options including: thermostatically controlled cooling towers, fuel-flow and airflow turbines, blowby
sensors, weather station (for automatic atmospheric data), EGT (exhaust-gas temperature) thermocouple kits, pressure
transducers, fully digitally
integrated five-gas exhaust
analyzers, direct-mount
smoke-opacity meters,

Corrosion and thermal-expansion protection are

passages (loss-plate labyrinths, covers, etc.) are
ruggedly plated to prevent rusting and reduce
insulating-scale buildup. This helps protect the
absorber against overheating damage, efficiency
losses, all while extending its uptime between
maintenance cleanings. The heat-transferring
loss-plate labyrinths are also engineered to avoid
mechanical stresses, due to the differences in
thermal expansion, between each plate and its
mating cover. Such attention to detail results in
longer life for each absorber's critical
components.

Stainless-braided hoses with aircraft fittings combine
flexibility, for minimizing torque-reading hysteresis, with

Profitably troubleshoot without snow or wasting your
valuable time trailering around trying to find conditions
where you can accurately test. Why run up non-billable
hours separating owners’ imagined power losses from
real ones? Customers who scream over a charge for
on-snow testing willingly pay extra for dyno time… as
long as it includes a computer printout. Smart dealers
routinely display the DYNOmite to enhance their shop’s

Our CVT dynamometer module allows simultaneous
capture of both the engine’s input Hp and the remaining
output power – after all belt and clutch pulley losses.
Easy test set-ups by mechanics with little, or no, dyno

expensive dyno-cell ventilation system. Just remove the
sled’s clutches, bolt the DYNOmite to the PTO, hook up
a few wires and hoses, and test (without spending hours
swapping a dirty suspension). Go right from riding, to

Specialty dynamometers for sled testing are available as
both production and custom systems. As you can see on
these pages, we manufacture more types of dynos than
any other company in the world. Are you looking for a
drive-on track model for quickly running-in stock snow

or a 600 Hp 12,000 RPM Siamese-rotor absorber for
