THE COMPANY...
...ITS ACTIVITIES
ROTRONICS is a French company specialising in the
design and manufacture of test facilities for vehicles and
internal combustion engines. Established in 1990, the
company designs, produces and sells electronic and
mechanical equipment and software for the automotive
industry.
The company has a wide range of
activities : complete engine test
cells, renovation of old test cells,
development of existing test
cells, engine dynamometers,
inertial and brake load chassis
dynamometers, teaching
dynamometers and many
special projects relating to
data acquisition for internal
combustion engines.
ROTRONICS operates in
the following areas : car and
motorcycle racing, professional
automotive and motorcycling
industry, professional teaching
and training establishments.
With its knowledge and
experience, ROTRONICS
supplies high technology solutions
made to client’s specifications, as
well as a range of competitive
high-performance standard
products.
STANDARD PRODUCTS
These include products with no requirement of special design or development work. They are delivered
complete, tested and ready to use. Whatever the product, commissioning and training are available.
MOTOSCAN II
Motorcycle chassis dynamometer
Developed for motorcycle specialists,
Motoscan II is also suitable for teaching use
at a university or technical training centre.
Based on simple concepts providing
performance and flexibility, Motoscan II can
undertake both inertial or controlled load
tests. Available either for building into the
floor structure or as a free standing
installation, it accepts all types of
motorcycles, mopeds and scooters.

AUTOSCAN Fi
ROllER CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER FOR CARS
Intended for automobile competition, optimisation
of road vehicles and technical teaching, Autoscan
Fi allows quick visualisation the influence of work
carried out on vehicles in general and the behavior of
the engine in particular. Available as a WD version,
Autoscan Fi is also supplied as a 4WD version with
4 rollers mechanically connected to each other. This
version is compatible with all 4WD transmission types
(permanent, manual or automatic) and systems of
traction control. Autoscan Fi integrates low inertia
technology which is associated with a dynamically
controlled Eddy current loading brake, and makes it
possible to create realistic testing conditions.
BEMP 01
ENGINE DYNAMOMETER FOR TEACHING
Specifically created to respond to educational
needs, the teaching version of the engine
dynamometer is destined for the automobile,
motorcycle, engine, energy or industrial
maintenance sectors. Depending on the
chosen configuration, it is equally suitable for
trainee technicians as well as for university /
postgraduate students.
BEMP 01 is entirely autonomous, requiring no
special installation or civil engineering work.
This product permits the measurement of
those characteristics necessary for a detailed
understanding of the function of an internal
combustion engine.
Mounted on a wheeled chassis, the engines
(petrol injection with programmable ignition,
diesel with mechanical injector …) are easily
interchangable within a few minutes, due to a
quick fastening system.

AGRISCAN
POWER TAKE-OFF TEST BED FOR AGRICUlTURAl MACHINES
In a difficult financial climate, it’s always
important to look at spending money
wisely, and Agriscan can help ensure
agricultural machinery is working at
its optimum efficiency. Diagnosis,
maintenance, running in, and followup of performance over time: there are
many factors which create the need to
use a specialised, precise and reliable
measuring instrument. Agriscan is
available as a workshop or mobile
version.
DYNASCAN
DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROl SYSTEM FOR INERTIAl OR SIMPlE
BRAKED DYNAMOMETER
Specially developed for inertial or braked
dynamometers, Dynascan is an economic
solution offered to users of existing test
beds as well as those who wish to
design their own test bed. Available
in vehicle or engine dynamometer
version, Dynascan comprises a modern
and high performance data acquisition
and operating software package. The
equipment is designed to be retro-fitted to
classical roller drum (1, or 4 inertial or
braked rollers) or for engine inertial or
with an Eddy current brake test bed.

DYNAKART
TEST BED FOR KART ENGINES
Primarily intended for karting professionals,
this test bench with electric load brake
can accomodate all types of kart engines
: or 4 strokes, competition or leisure.
The test procedure it offers (acceleration
under load controlled according to a road
law) makes it possible to test the engines
under conditions exceptionally close to
reality. Very easy to use, DynaKart makes
it possible to take measurements with a
high degree of accuracy without imposing
the constraints of a traditional test bench
upon the user.
FLOWSCAN
FlOWBENCH
Conceived for the development and the
optimisation of two and four stroke engines
in the fields of industry, competition and
technical teaching, Flowscan has an
innovative architecture and is manufactured
using high-grade components : high
power fan, single direction flow, mass
flow rate air measurement, electronic
regulation of the pressure of test... these
characteristics give Flowscan a great flow
capacity as well as high precision and
great repeatability.

KRONOS PRODUCT RANGE
These are modular products for industrial use. The majority of products are designed and
manufactured by ROTRONICS. They integrate with existing rolling test beds and engine cells and
address the following requirements :
• Engine load : Industrial eddy current loading brakes by Foucault Borghi & Saveri. Wide
range available : from a few kW to approximately 1000 kW.
• Control of loading brake (electric or hydraulic)
• Control of engine fuel feed
• Acquisition of digital data
• Measurement of fuel consumption
• Leakage gas flowmeter
• Low frequency measurements : temperatures, pressures, outputs
• Measurement of dynamic pressures (cylinder, inlet, exhaust)
• Dynamometer management and measurements by the Kronos V4 software modules :
visualisation, monitoring, test management, operation.

KRONOS PRODUCT RANGE
ROTRONICS applies its knowledge and experience in developing specific solutions to meet a
particular specification, integrating its own products with externally sourced equipment in order
to satisfy the clients needs.
A project might concern any type of dynamometer or test facility, for vehicles or engines, in
accordance with the client’s specification. It might include only the measurement equipment, or
all equipment and services :
• Test facility soundproofing
• Cooling systems for engine and brake (open and closed circuit cooling, internal exchangers,
cooling towers…)
• Conditioning of fluid temperatures : air supply, fuel, water, oil
• Extraction of exhaust gas
• Ventilation of premises
• Manufacture of mechanical equipment (dynamometer platform, mountings, transmission,…)
• Provision of sensors and data acquisition equipment
• On-site installation
• Final certification
• Commissioning and user training
• Maintenance
