Looking through Google Images for a suitable electric motor test set up, I came across a member of RC Groups (Sandancer) who recently purchased one of these:

Infinity Hobby

There is also an upgrade to enable larger motors to be tested:

Infinity Hobby

The test bed has a capacity of up to 30kg of thrust enabling a wide range of motor/propeller combinations.

I have no idea what that is in Imperial, but the electronic scale used in the test bed can be selected for ounces and pounds.

Here it is in use shown in Sandancer's blog:

Just an update, I have received my order for the thrust tester and I'm impressed by the quality of it. The finish is excellent, and it's a compact, solid unit.

The moving part of the frame where the motor mounts on, is very light and free moving with the linear ball bearings.

All I want to do now, is make up a heavy chip board plinth for it to clamp to. Attach extra sensors like a tacho, watt meter, a speed controller through an ESC, cabling and an old PC power supply for power.


Delivery was very quick, I was surprised.
