Dynamometer: A machine that measures the input or output of power generating, power transmitting, or power absorbing machinery. The power is typically measured in terms of speed and torque. As it relates to automotive brakes, a dynamometer is a machine which consists of a motor driving a specified inertia load (to simulate the energy of the vehicle being tested) and a hydraulic system that can accurately control the brake pressure and/or torque of the brake being tested. Dynamometers are often referred to as dynos in North America and are used to test for performance, wear, noise, rotor aggressiveness, DTV, and other characteristics.
