The Three Component Balance is designed for use in Open Water tests with Podded Dynamometer.
The forces and moments measured will depend on the combination and number of Transducers fitted.

This equipment allows the user to arrange Podded Drive Propeller Dynamometer with the extended gearbox, Three Component Balance and Purpose built Carriage mounting frame with manual adjustment for Height, Pitch and Yaw.
