Propeller Dynamometers are based on original Kempf & Remmers
designs and have a reputation for reliability and accuracy second to none. Using
modern rotating and non-rotating transducer technology incorporating
compensation for both zero and sensitivity drift to measure torque and thrust,
these instruments are the workhorses of modern hydrodynamic laboratories. Many
hundreds are currently in use worldwide. Our single and contra-rotating
Propeller Dynamometers can be supplied in a number of different configurations,
including with integral motors and angled drives. They are suitable therefore
for use within model ships (unsealed designs) and on Towing Carriages and
pressurised Cavitation Tunnels (waterproof designs). Our Propeller Dynamometer
range is designed to permit experiments over a wide range of speeds, thrusts,
and torques, although non-standard requirements can easily be accommodated.
Where necessary, multi-component balances are incorporated into the dynamometer
designs to allow measurement of overall forces during use. Measurements,
particularly in small podded gondola propulsor and in 'quiet' systems is a
growing requirement which Cussons Technology will be able to fill.

Wave Makers
Wave Makers are available in a wide number of sizes and types incorporating normal or absorbing features, capable of producing regular or random long or short crested waves in deep or shallow water. To support this extensive range of requirements, our wave maker designs include piston, plunger, hinged flap and sliding wedge types, or can be developed specifically to meet our customers' unique experimental objectives. Cussons Technology wave makers incorporate proven software techniques for wave generator control and can include software links to towing carriages to optimise test duration.
Wave Technology is a rapidly advancing science - new or modified products are continually being developed to meet unique experimental needs, including those associated with the offshore industry's deep-sea exploration research programmes.
Single and multi-component Balances are available in a wide range of configurations, suitable for the measurement of steady state and dynamic forces and moments. The devices are therefore suitable for use in association with experiments being carried out in a diverse range of applications, such as for appendage, ship, and submarine model applications in towing tanks and in circulating water channels and cavitation tunnels. The range includes sealed and unsealed designs, each built with a stiffness to suit the virtual mass of tested bodies in water.
Our design team is available, as with all other Cussons Technology products to develop unique designs for our customers' specific applications.
