The SF-Powermark engine dynamometer showcases a rugged, nickel bronze alloy power absorption unit with a 2 in (5 cm) stainless steel diameter main shaft for maximum durability and long life, even in the most demanding testing conditions. The Powermark was designed to test very high-output engines used in motorsports competition, up to 2500+Hp at speeds up to 15,000 RPM.
This heavy-duty, high-capacity water brake engine dyno will perform accurate, repeatable, automated engine tests with rapid testing throughput. The versatility and durability of the SF-Powermark makes it the dyno of choice for drag racing, circle track, large cubic inch marine applications, or any other application requiring both high speed power and lower speed torque absorption.
The Powermark dynamometer is built with integrated starters which eliminates the need for a bell-housing or engine mounted starter. A special compliant driveshaft that absorbs the torsional vibrations of the engine allows for coupling to the dynamometer directly to the engine’s crankshaft or flywheel. The driveshaft’s 4.5 in (114 mm) constant velocity (CV) joints ensure smooth power transfer.
Precise control of the water equates to precise closed-loop load and speed control of the engine. SuperFlow designed an exclusive dual water valve strategy for the Powermark. Stainless steel absorber inlet and outlet valves with high speed stepper motors control the water flow in and out the Powermark’s exclusive cross vented bronze rotors and stators. The dual valve control allows the water brake to respond quickly to abrupt load changes such as nitrous oxide “hit” or steep rise in engine volumetric efficiency (VE) from a turbo or supercharger and it increases overall system torque absorbing capacity.
