Printed in Great Britain Letters to the Editor It is often necessary to make torque measurements in electrical-machine laboratories and while rnany devices, such as load cells, arc available for this purpose it is felt that the method described herein is of interest as it is simple and the equipment can easily be produced with a any particular application. range suitable for Basic Device The equipment, when being used to measure the standstill torque provided by a shaft, is illustrated in Fig. 1. It will be seen that the current passing through the coil A is controlled Rheostat (8) Coil(A)/ Piun9er (D)/ Microswitches I I c:. _____ ~J Fig. 1. Basic equipment. by the rheostat Band measured by ammeter C. When current is flowing in the coil an electro­ rnagnetic force acts on the plunger D which being rigidly attached to the end oflever E exerts a torque on the shaft. By adjusting the current this torque can be made exactly equal and Opposite to that provided by the shaft. Under this condition the lever E floats off its stops and takes up a central position. It is
