A torque-measuring system is applied to a training assembly of body training equipment. The training assembly includes a stationary base, a flywheel connected to the stationary base, a torque output mechanism driving the flywheel, and a brake member generating a resistance force by contacting the flywheel and displacing relative to the stationary base. The system has a measurement apparatus and a computation apparatus. The measurement apparatus includes a spring leaf and a strain measurement module. The spring leaf is connected between the brake member and the stationary base and has a mounting surface. The strain measurement module is mounted on the mounting surface of the spring leaf and generates a variation of electrical resistance corresponding to a strain of the spring leaf. According to the variation of electrical resistance, the computation apparatus outputs a torque value which reflects the magnitude of the torque outputted from the torque output mechanism.

A heat insulation plate (25) is interposed between a coupling (21) and an adapter flange (22) in a main shaft (6) of a dynamometer (3). A torque meter (24) is disposed between a coupling flange (23) that serves as a test-piece connection surface (56) and the adapter flange (22). To surround a periphery of these, a cover (7) is provided. An air conditioner utilizing a refrigeration cycle supplies a cold wind to an inside space of the cover (7). The heat insulation plate (25) suppresses heat transmission from an electric motor of the dynamometer (3) to the torque meter (24). Therefore, the torque meter (24) is effectively cooled by the cold wind.

A variable load dynamometer (VLD) measures the performance and operating characteristics of a test motor without the use of flywheels to supply the fixed resistance to the test motor. The VLD uses a slave motor coupled to the test motor. Using a software-controlled computer interface, the user can vary the load on the slave motor allowing for evaluation of the test motor under various load conditions. The VLD enables the user to analyze the operating characteristics and performance of the test motor by adjusting the speed of the test motor and the load applied to the test motor by the slave motor. Use of the slave motor coupled to the test motor eliminates the need for flywheels. The VLD's modular and compact design permits the evaluation of small-scale motors.
