The RCbenchmark dynamometer is the first commercial tool that allows sUAS designers to fully characterize brushless motors, propellers, batteries, and speed controllers, with the goal of maximizing the flight time and performance of their designs.
The tool can control a motor and measure all its key variables with high accuracy. It records voltage, current, torque, thrust, and rotation speed, as well as derived measurements, such as motor and propeller efficiency.
“In my previous designs, power train selection and optimization was a long, costly, and frustrating process. We designed the RCbenchmark motor test tool for UAV designers.”, said Dominic Robillard, CTO of Tyto Robotics. A custom testing tool for motors and propellers drastically reduces the development cost and time of sUAS power trains.
The product includes an intuitive software that can export data for further analysis in Excel or Matlab. The software also includes a script editor for automated, repeatable tests during development and production.
RCbenchmark.com is a product of Tyto Robotics, a privately funded company developing and manufacturing test equipment for sUAS designers.
